exercise in \u201cwhat is the beginning of the end of the old CXC\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis comprehensive strategic repositioning is about transforming for greater relevance and sustainability,\u201d Wesley shared, adding that it encompasses three main elements, including the modernisation of the governance system involving a review of CXC\u2019s articles of agreement to include expanded stakeholder representation, enhancing accountability, relevant expertise and prudent oversight to ensure adherence to policy mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the organisational redesign of the CXC is intended to make the examination body \u201cfit for purpose\u201d and \u201cwhat this means is CXC transforming for greater relevance, sustainability to achieve organisational agility\u2026responding quickly and effectively to unpredictable events\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Wesley, the third element of the repositioning is reimagining assessment and certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis calls for the recalibration and refocus of the council\u2019s system of assessment and certification, embracing flexible and progressive learning and competency-based education in alignment with economic and social transformation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He told reporters that there will also be a redesign of the CXC qualifications to achieve the optimal balance between content coverage and the acquisition of skills to the various approaches of current and future employment skills demands, as well as the modernisation of syllabuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a new development in CXC as we seek to become more flexible and responsive to the needs of the region and so a new qualification has been developed\u2026and within this construct the learner is at the focus of what we are treating with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn that regard we have recognised that there are multiple options. You have advanced gifted students, who can take the accelerated track and those who can do so through a compressed programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also recognise there are the typical students who will take the general track, completing the programme in a specified period of time as in most of our syllabuses, two years, and then you will<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>have the individualised individual who will need a flexible track and extended programme time to treat with and absorb the content,\u201d Wesley explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The registrar said in recognising the three competencies of the learner, it will lead to a new qualification by CXC that will be at the same standard of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE), utilising the same syllabus, focusing on related and relevant learning outcomes and provides for progressive achievements of competencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the Caribbean Targeted Education Certificate (CTEC), which will be non-terminal, will be \u201cour micro-credential and will be awarded to students who successfully achieve a module\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen this will lead into our intermediate credentials\u2026which will be awarded to those who achieve a defined module subjects\u2026with the macro-credentials being given to those students successfully achieving a prescribed set of subjects and or modules,\u201d Wesley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/Dm3gjzbSkZL7FCmcndelGS\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP
