Government to Refund Families Who Already Paid 2026 CXC Fees

4

The government says families who already paid CXC examination fees for June 2026 will receive full refunds, following last week’s announcement that the state will cover all CXC costs beginning in the 2026 academic year.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne first shared the update on social media, and Education Minister Daryll Matthew confirmed it in Parliament during the Budget debate. He said the refund process is set to begin next week, with payments sent directly to schools.

“For every parent and student who already settled their CXC bill, the Ministry has instructed that the money be returned,” Matthew said, adding that schools keep accurate fee records based on each student’s subject load. He said refunds are expected before Christmas.

  1. I’m glad they’re not leaving early payers behind. Some parents sacrificed to pay early, and they deserve every cent back.

  2. Now THIS is how you ease the pressure on families. Education is expensive, so getting that refund before Christmas is a blessing.

  4. The fees are already paid. The students have four to five more months of school before exams.

    Don’t make this a political pawn. Why not use the money instead to try and make their school environment safer, more comfortable, like cleaning up and fixing the schools’ toilets, making sure there is water in the taps and the toilets, making sure the teachers are on the job and working hard to give the kids a chance to pass.

    Try talking to the exam students. You will find out the things they need to make their lives at school less miserable so they can go in that exam room and do their best.

    FOR GOD’S SAKE, DO NOT MAKE THIS A POLITICAL ISSUE!
