âThe number of subject offerings accessed by students this year has been reduced,â stated Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education Laura Browne. This can be attributed to the fact that CAPE has taken over some of the subjects previously offered by Cambridge (Advanced Level), and that students are opting for CAPE subjects over the Aâ Level equivalents.
