THE Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) will be introducing 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. This applies to CSEC and CAPE subjects.

CXC registrar Wayne Wesley, speaking during a media conference on April 15, said the certification will involve three tracks: an advanced, accelerated track with a compressed programme; a typical, general track with a two-year programme; and, an individualised, flexible track with an extended programme. He said this approach was learner-focused.

He said the syllabus for each subject would remain the same, and achieving all the modules would result in the student getting their certificate for the entire subject.
