GOVERNMENT FUNDS EXAM FEES FOR UP TO 10 CSEC SUBJECTS, UP TO 5 CAPE FOR ELIGIBLE STUDENTS

The government has formalized the policy to fund examination fees for up to ten CSEC subjects and up to five at the CAPE level for eligible students.

The policy establishes clear rules on who qualifies and what is expected of students who benefit from the programme.

The creation of the National CXC Examination Support Programme cements a landmark education initiative that was first introduced during the last academic year.
