CXC seeking input from VI for new 25-year strategic plan
At the forum, held at the New Testament Church of God International Worship Centre on Tuesday January 21, 2020, the Jamaica national Dr Wesley revealed that all their concerns and feedback will be included into the strategic planning for the next 25 years.
“I can’t speak to if it is the norm, as the registrar at CXC would normally go around and meet with the stakeholders to have discussions with them. [But] I just see it very critical at this time for me being newly appointed to move around and understand what are the issues facing the education sector within the region and, now that I am at a critical juncture of developing the new strategic plan for CXC for 2021 to 2025,” he stated.
He said going forward, the 25-year plan needs to be influenced by the Caribbean people.
“So going around is to ascertain from our stakeholders what are the issues that you are currently facing and how is it that you would like to see CXC responding. I would use that information to then craft our strategy. What I am expecting to do as the new registrar is to create a transformation of CXC not being a single entity of itself but as a regional enterprise that is understanding of the issues that faces the region, the risks associated with that and how collectively we can advance the development of the human capital within the region.”
Questions
Meanwhile, students questioned Dr Wesley on a many areas such as whether they would be eligible to receive their funds back if they failed their exams and how many times can someone re-sit an exam.
In response, Dr Wesley said someone could re-sit an exam as many times as they wish, and there will be no refund if a candidate sits an exam and fails, which drew a hearty laugh among attendees.
Other schools will have their chance to pitch their questions today, Wednesday, January 22, 2020.
