Belmont Secondary School
Tours CXC® HQ
In January, 17 form five students from the Belmont Secondary
School in Trinidad and Tobago, received an inside glimpse of
the workings of the Caribbean Examinations Council® (CXC®).
The students, who ranged in age between 16 and 18 were
on a tour of various institutions, based in Barbados, to gain a
greater appreciation and better working knowledge of regional
integration.
This is the second such occasion in recent times that the
school has brought a group of students to learn more about
CXC’s work. The students toured each department, speaking to
representatives who explained the activities which the department
carries out and their strategic role in the organisation.
