CXC to Replace Coursework with Invigilated Exams Amid AI Concerns

The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) is set to implement a significant overhaul of its examination system, phasing out traditional School-Based Assessments (SBAs) for most subjects by 2028. In their place, students will undertake invigilated paper-based examinations. This strategic shift is a direct response to growing concerns over the potential misuse of artificial intelligence in academic work, which threatens the integrity of current assessment methods. The CXC aims to ensure that its qualifications remain credible and valued in an era where AI tools can potentially be used to complete coursework. The move signals a proactive approach by the council to adapt to technological advancements and uphold the standards of educational assessment across the region. Further details on the implementation and the specific subjects affected are expected as the 2028 deadline approaches.
