Senior Jamaican education stakeholders are to meet with officials of the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) today to seek clarification on the regional body’s sweeping reforms to school-based assessments (SBAs).

The Jamaica Observer understands that concerns have been raised about some aspects of the changes and stakeholders are awaiting the outcome of discussions before adopting a final position.

While the nature of the concerns are yet to be disclosed, the meeting is expected to provide them with an opportunity to better understand how the new framework will operate in schools.
