THE Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) was on Wednesday informed that fireproof cabinets containing examination papers for nine subjects scheduled to be administered this week, were stolen from a school in Jamaica.

“This is of grave concern to CXC and the matter is being investigated by the Ministry of National Security and the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF). CXC is in constant contact with the Ministry of Education and Youth in Jamaica and an update was shared with the Ministries of Education from across the region at a meeting earlier today,” CXC noted in a press statement on Wednesday.
CXC said it is determining the course of action and will communicate with the Ministries of Education and further information will be shared as it becomes available.
