The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC®) issues a regional message to students, teachers and parents on how artificial intelligence should be used in school-based assessments (SBAs). Multiple outlets report that CXC® restates its “pro-student-teacher” stance, emphasizing responsible conduct and the role of integrity in assessment practices. In remarks highlighted by one outlet, CXC officials encourage learners to make appropriate choices about their education, framing integrity as more than simply whether technology can identify certain actions. The guidance presented focuses on ensuring SBAs reflect students’ own work and supports the teaching-learning process rather than replacing it with tools in ways that undermine assessment standards. The messages are directed across participating territories and are intended to clarify expectations for using AI during assessment preparation and submission. Outlets describe the communication as both direct and supportive, aiming to reinforce ethical expectations while maintaining the involvement of teachers in guiding students through their SBAs.
