Later this year, CXC will introduce the Caribbean Targeted Education Certificate.

This was announced at a media conference today by CXC registrar Wayne Wesley.

The CTEC will see traditional CSEC and CAPE subjects split into modules in order to allow students to engage with the material at their own pace.
