PUBLIC SERVCE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Overseas Examinations Commission (OEC) wishes to remind all parents/guardians of

candidates sitting external examinations that, in the event of heavy rains and flooding,
candidates should make every effort to get to their assigned centre as safely and as early as
possible. However, should they experience difficulty in doing so, candidates are encouraged to
get to the centre nearest to them to sit their examination.

Under no circumstance should candidates attempt to cross dangerously flooded roads, gullies,
rivers and fordings in order to reach their centre. However, it is very important that
parents/guardians take every possible step to ensure that the examinations are written.

Where possible, parents/guardians may want to arrange for candidates to stay with relatives if
they think they may experience grave challenges in reaching an examination centre should they
remain in their current location.

For further information, please contact the OEC at 876-618-3721/876-929-1571 or
