Caribbean Students Missing Exams | Jamaica News
Description
Over 32,000 students skipped CSEC exams and 3,500 missed CAPE exams—leaving thousands without grades. The Caribbean Examinations Council urges parents and teachers to push students to show up, even if unprepared, since absence equals no grade. A gender gap also emerges: more girls take CAPE and CSEC, but boys slightly outnumber girls at CCSLC. Meanwhile, CAPE sees rising participation and subject enrollment, while CSEC enrollment drops—but those who register are tackling more subjects. These trends signal shifting student behaviors and highlight key areas the council is now closely monitoring to boost educational outcomes across the region.
