The Caribbean Examinations Council is set to pilot electronic exams and micro-credentials during the May-June 2026 examinations.
Over 2400 students across 13 Caribbean countries are set to sit the new Caribbean Education Certificate (CTEC) Mathematics Module to earn micro-credentials alongside their main certificates.
“These candidates will earn their CTEC micro-credentials as they progress towards their CSEC certification,” he said
CXC CEO Dr Wayne Wesley said these innovations are shaping the future of Caribbean education.
The CTEC initiative was among the key flexible education pathways discussed at CXC’s inaugural Regional Education Conference and Ministerial Forum co-convened with Jamaica’s Ministry of Education, Skills, Youth and Information in Kingston last March.
Described by observers as a watershed moment for Caribbean education, the landmark four-day gathering of over 400 education leaders, policymakers, and practitioners from 27 countries, confronted the challenges of teaching, learning, and assessment in the digital age.
Dr Wesley was explicit in telling the conference that the region’s examination system must be congruent with how its digital-native learners process knowledge, and that equity is not a concession to excellence but its truest expression
