Anguilla has become the first Caribbean country to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Caribbean Examinations Council that has developed a regional policy framework to help guide governments in creating and strengthening their own strategies on artificial intelligence in education.
The MoU was signed at a CXC news conference on Tuesday.
CXC, which has noted that an estimated 70 per cent of its member states lack a formal policy on artificial intelligence, is urging member countries to sign the MoU to promote policy consistency across the region.
The examination body's Director of Technological Innovation & Information Technology Services, Rodney Payne, says, for the region to benefit, there is need for harmonised development in the use of technology.
Dr Wayne Wesley, CXC Registrar and CEO, told reporters that this initiative is part of CXC's repositioning strategy to enhance regional impact and global influence by providing relevant and high-quality educational services.
