Alleyne told Barbados TODAY: “We made some interim decisions not to have the person in question invigilate or correct any scripts or have anything to do with the exams and we are in the process of finalising everything. “So, the investigation is not quite finished but once we have made a decision, I would be relaying them to people.” The principal said a full report on the incident is to be made available to the Ministry of Education and the alleged tutor has also been barred from marking exam papers. The disclosure of the disciplinary action comes 48 hours after the exam was halted at the last minute as approximately 600 students were to set to write it on Tuesday.
