According to CXC, it will present results for the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE), Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC), Caribbean Targeted Education Certificate and Caribbean Certificate of Secondary Level Competence with particular attention being placed on CSEC Mathematics and English, which are compulsory subjects across the region.

It said that the Mathematics pass rate increased from 36 per cent in 2024 to 39 per cent in 2025, while the English A pass rate rose from 76 per cent to 80 per cent. However, the English B pass rate declined from 84 per cent in 2024 to 69 per cent last year. “With the approval of our Board of Governors, CXC is pleased to officially launch the Caribbean Targeted Education Certificate, CTEC. CTEC takes the subjects you know, the same syllabus, the same standard, the same rigorous standard, and breaks them down into focus modules that students can master and be assessed on and be certified for step-by-step,” Wesley told the ceremony.

“In other words, CTEC is fit, focused, individualised learning. Under its guidance, under its guiding target framework, every module completed is a credential earned that is banked, portable, and that builds towards the qualification,” he said, adding that if life interrupts a learner’s journey, as life sometimes does, they no longer leave with empty hands.
