CXC Update Changes Previously Released Results Information

The Ministry of Education, Human Resource Development and Religious Affairs hereby informs the general public that the Caribbean Examination’s Council (CXC) detected and corrected an issue with the 2019 CSEC results for a number of centres. This resulted in some adjustments to the Ministry’s published list of top performers, the overall pass rate, and the pass rates for some subjects. This information was emailed to the Ministry of Education from the CXC today (Wednesday, 14 August 2019) after the Ministry officially released the previously provided CSEC results. Further, the CXC informed that the updated results will be released to candidates on 15 August 2019 from 9 am.
