SOME denominational schools are cautiously optimistic about the changes being made to the administration of subjects by the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC). They are awaiting further details on implementation from CXC.

On April 14, CXC announced the creation of a new qualification called the Caribbean Targeted Education Certificate (CTEC), which will split traditional subjects into modules, enabling students to engage with the topics at their own pace. Students will be awarded certificates for each module and be able to complete modules in different subjects without having to complete the entire subject.

Catholic School Board head Sharon Mangroo said it was an interesting and exciting development.
