Good day. With regard to emarking, you can create an account on the website cxc.org/markers & cxc will get back to you in due course.
Congratulations to Dr. A. Coward, Food and Nutrition Chief, who is an excellent leader and always kept her team of markers motivated. Wish you well always.
Congrats to all!
CXC has been blessed to have the best and sustained services of eminent educators who together served 293 years, perhaps more. I have also served in various positions during the years, from the inception of Principles of Business. My service in the post of Assistant Chief concluded in 2001.
Happy retirement ladies and gentlemen!
Congratulations and best wishes each person. Special thanks to Mrs Marcia Thomas who ensured the training of teachers in the delivery of EDPM in Guyana.
Dr Antonia McDonald, thank you for your years of passionate dedicated service to the region. Your hard work and vision has inspired us all in the field! I am comforted that your influence and guidance will continue to engender growth in the discipline and promote a cadre of young active lovers of Literature . We continue to look to you and to dine at the table of your wisdom.We wish you well!!! Blessings!!
Congrats Dr. Coward for 15 years of diligent and committed work with CAPE Food and Nutrition. You have left a wealth of knowledge and experience with your markers and I’m sure they will continue to serve well.
I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Coward (Food and Nutrition CAPE)this year and its sad to hear it was the last. She is really a great leader; wished I had the pleasure of knowing her in person. I wish her all the best in her retirement, long life, health and strength. To all the others, Happy retirement.
Congratulations to Johoan Chambers-Blackwood. Although my time with her has been very short she has been a great influence and motivator. Her calming personality makes it easy to work with her. Bless you Johoan
Thank you Dr. Marcia Burrowes for your leadership, encouragement and enthusiasm at the Caribbean Studies marking exercises over the years. You were greatly appreciated, and will be missed. Wishing you continued success and fulfilment post retirement.
