The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has produced a generative artificial intelligence or AI policy for regional secondary education.
Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Wayne Wesley revealed CXC is in the process of fine-tuning the policy.
The announcement was made during the 2024 CXC Regional Top Awards Ceremony held in St. Lucia.
According to Dr. Wesley, CXC will engage in multiple stakeholder consultations on the policy so it can be adopted and effectively implemented across schools in the Caribbean.
This year’s most outstanding candidates overall in CAPE and CSEC examinations were Aniyah Couchman and Dave Chowtie, both from Queen’s College, Guyana.
Couchman achieved Grade I in 20 subjects and Grade II and Grade III in one subject each.
Chowtie achieved Grade I in 25 subjects and Grade II in 4 subjects.
As the top students were awarded, Dr. Wesley noted CXC is aiming for greater success for more of its regional candidates.
He says it’s not beyond states in the region to have their citizens literate and digitally prepared to take their place in the world.
