CXC said that the meeting made significant progress towards an amicable resolution to the challenges.
“These deliberations will be concluded early next week, at which time the agreed position will be

With announcements that CSEC exams will be in July, Jamaica had raised objections, citing challenges from schools closure from COVID-19.
