CXC Announces Major Changes to School-Based Assessments

The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has announced reforms to its School-Based Assessment (SBA) system to protect academic integrity amid the growing use of artificial intelligence. Traditional SBAs will be replaced with an enhanced Paper 3/2 assessment for non-practical subjects, allowing students to prepare in advance and bring reference notes into supervised examinations. The phased rollout will provide schools, teachers, and students with time and guidance to adapt to the new assessment model.
