Dear Editor,
There are myriad issues which have been revealed as sub-optimal in this 2020 CXC Exam Crisis: the 2020 CSEC and CAPE Results, the core output of CXC, which have disadvantaged hundreds of our nation’s children, and thousands regionally; deficiencies in CXC’s grading methodology and SBA moderation process; the use of questions previously in the public arena which represented the bulk of Paper 1; an over-ambitious revised exam structure which required thousands more SBAs to be moderated, which probably overwhelmed the technological and human resource capabilities of the ‘regional educational eco-system’ already challenged by the pandemic; the role of the likely algorithm used to assign (some) grades.
The article Significant public questions remain unanswered by CXC appeared first on Stabroek News.
