The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has announced sweeping changes to its School-Based Assessment (SBA) system, with traditional SBAs set to be phased out for several non-practical Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) subjects beginning in 2027.
