Queens Collage heading to CCJ to stop CXC from declaring the results
Queen’s College, Guyana’s top secondary school, says it will file an injunction at the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) seeking to block the official declaration of the results for this year’s Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) if officials do not review the grades.
“We have already consulted a lawyer, our intention is to ensure that we file an injunction to block the declaration of the results,” the schools’ principal, Jackie Ralph told reporters during a press conference Thursday.
“We are not prepared to accept the position that CXC has taken and we intend to pursue this matter vigorously with the view to salvage whatever they have done to destroy our students’ mental and emotional capacity.”

Minister of Education Priya Manickchand is assuring students that she will fight to ensure that the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) addresses their concerns and find a satisfactory solution regarding the grading of the recent exams.
The Minister has joined what is now a countrywide rejection of discrepancies in the Caribbean Secondary Examination Certificate (CSEC) and the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE).
“We understand what happened here, but I want to assure you that the adults are fighting for you. You are not alone,” Manickchand said in a bid to comfort students across the country who are now traumatized and disenchanted.
She said these include children who performed well throughout their academic life coming out with failing grades. In addition. all the students in particular subject areas in some schools were left ungraded. The Minister recognized that the issue is not peculiar to Guyana but other countries in the region.
