The Barbados-based Caribbean Examinations Council has distanced itself from the disruptions in examinations by Barbadian students this week, saying that the matter rests with the country's Ministry of Education.
Students faced significant delays in writing their exams due to furniture shortages at examination centres and last-minute changes to the Spanish oral exam schedule, prompting an apology from the ministry.
CXC, in response to the situation, directed attention to the statement issued by the Ministry of Education while noting the distinct roles in exam administration.
