Today, we pause to remember the fateful day twelve (12) years ago - 25 June 1997- when the Soufriére Hills volcano erupted with devastating effects, killing nineteen (19) persons and leaving two-thirds of Montserrat uninhabitable. As a result also, Plymouth the capital had to be abandoned; the W H Bramble Airport was destroyed; the island became accessible only by helicopter or boat; thousands of Montserratians were forced to seek refuge in Britain, the USA and neighboring Caribbean islands; Montserrat became dependent upon Britain for Grant-in-Aid and island life changed forever. Time has begun the healing process and Montserratians are emerging as a people who are even more resilient than ever.

Message from Chairman of CXC to Mark 30th Anniversary
24th June 2009
In 2009, the Caribbean Examinations Council will celebrate thirty years of delivering high quality, internationally accepted and accredited examinations to secondary level students across the region. Beginning in 1979, with 5 subjects offered to 30,000 students, in 2009, the council delivered 33 subjects to more than 150,000 students at the CSEC and CAPE levels. This achievement has developed on a solid foundation of support from our contributing Governments, the people of the region and a hard-working and dedicated staff. To all of them, and to our former Registrars and Chairmen, I extend heartiest congratulations and sincere thanks.

The certification of secondary school graduates in the pre’79 era was principally determined by educators far away in the United Kingdom, who designed and marked examinations that rewarded or failed Caribbean students. And, although it could be argued that this external system contributed somewhat to the development of our human resources, and ultimately the region, Caribbean Governments were wise in their decision to opt for an examination system that was of the Caribbean and for the Caribbean. It was a strategic move that re-positioned the region for future growth, independence from colonial indoctrination, and true self-determination.
