High School CSEC scores now available online

One topic that the CBU members have been reporting is the results of the standardized high school examinations. The Caribbean Examinations Council grades are not out as yet, however, students who sat the CSEC have been able to access their scores online. Although CSEC has been releasing the rankings to the participating countries through its Online Registration System for the past three years, this is the first time that this feature has been made available to the students. This added element was implemented to deliver results in an efficient and prompt manner in the shortest time period possible. However, across the region a number of concerns have been raised about the tampering of grades, but the council says the students don’t have access to the CSEC database and, therefore, cannot change or tamper with the information residing on the database. A release posted on the CSEC website states: “CSEC Local Registrars and Principals of schools have the capacity to restrict access to the results from some schools and candidates if they deem it necessary for compliance reasons.” The official release from the Ministry of Education on Belize’s results should be issued in the next few days.
