Looks like its just trinidad

this is a shame though. how can yuh have a whole set of exams leaked. the papers should be postponed all over the caribbean,, well that based on my interpretation that it was only in trinidad.

All current examinations papers have therefore been recalled and the Ministry has contracted the services of an expert security agency to redesign the security procedures to be utilized in the management of examinations in the future. The CXC is also undertaking a similar exercise.


lets see what they can come up with.

CXC math exam going ahead today despite leak in Guyana

Observer Reporter
Thursday, May 26, 2005



THE Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) in Barbados yesterday told Jamaican and other regional candidates sitting the Caribbean Secondary Examination Certificate (CSEC) mathematics examination today that the exam will proceed as planned, despite a leak of the paper in Guyana.

Guyana's Stabroek News reported yesterday that the country's education minister Dr Henry Jeffrey has postponed the mathematics examination and recalled the papers while they investigate the source of the leak.

According to the article, copies of the CSEC mathematics paper were being distributed and sold in parts of the country, and online at prices ranging from $20,000 (J$6,896.36) to $50,000 (J$17,240.90).
