The Antiguan government has announced it will pay the full Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) examination fees for candidates sitting the 2026 examinations, according to Antigua.news.
The initiative represents a significant financial commitment to supporting students across Antigua and Barbuda as they prepare for one of the region's most important academic milestones. CXC examinations, which include the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE), are a critical pathway for students pursuing higher education and career opportunities throughout the Caribbean.
The government's decision to absorb the full cost of examination fees is expected to ease the financial burden on families, ensuring that no student is prevented from sitting the exams due to cost constraints.
Further details regarding the implementation of the fee coverage programme, including eligibility requirements and the registration process, had not been fully outlined at the time of reporting, as reported by Antigua.news.
