Parents/students should contact their school to receive specific instructions and materials for information about their external exams.

For government secondary schools, parents/student should note the following key points:

City and Guilds examinations currently remain on schedule.

Examinations previously scheduled by Cambridge, AQA, WJEC and Pearson are all cancelled as indicated by their respective boards.

Examination centres are awaiting the process for awarding grades for the above mentioned exams.

The Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) announced a number of changes to the May/June 2020 examinations schedule. 

  • CXC has revised the exams schedule to July 2020.
  • CXC continues to be guided by the protocols set by the governments in the region.
  • In person or on-site moderation across all practical subjects is suspended until further notice.
  • Paper 1 for all exams will be delivered electronically, and the results will be used in conjunction with School Based Assessments (SBAs) to provide students with an assessed grade. The exceptions to this are Modern Languages, Visual Arts and Human and Social Biology.
  • Completion of SBA practicals have been rescheduled and schools will be advised of the revised deadline for submission.
  • Online resources geared towards exam preparation are available at learninghub.cxc.org; in addition, the Department of Education Services and the Ministry of Education are working with FLOW and One on One Educational Services Ltd in Jamaica, to provide access to additional content.
