The Caribbean Examinations Council – Successful Symbol of Regional Integration
|
|
The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) was established out of a need to provide local examinations to Caribbean people. The Council was mandated to replace metropolitan examinations with relevant, regional ones that would advance the nationalist or independent sentiments pervading the region. This paper seeks to assess the extent to which CXC has successfully fulfilled its mandate. The factors impacting their success, the indices and the level of their success will be evaluated with specific reference to the case of Jamaica.
