examinations.<\/p>\n<p>The Council had announced earlier this year that Paper II, the essay paper, would be discarded in favour of an increased weighting for Paper I and the School-Based Assessment\/Internal Assessment.<\/p>\n<p>Mere says after the release of the CSEC and CAPE results, various students, parents, schools and governments began calling for an investigation.<\/p>\n<p>But according to Sir Hilary, the review team found that the CXC \u201cdid well\u201d in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The draft report also called for the implementation of an innovative, modified examination strategy for the region; and that the modified approach should be educationally and technically sound.<\/p>\n<p>The team also found that CXC conducted its remit in a professional manner befitting its reputation and competence.<\/p>\n<p>However, it said that given the fragmented nature of the ecosystem in which schools and ministries are dependent upon CXC and CXC dependent upon them, the problems identified could have been placed in a more effective communications response.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barbados TODAY<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"swp_social_panel
