PEP payment pledge: what exam workers should watch next
NYC High Life Radio looks at the payment timetable reported for Jamaica’s PEP examination workers and the questions that remain.
By NYC High Life Radio Editorial · 2026-10-15
For Jamaican examination workers waiting to be paid, a promised deadline is useful—but confirmation that the money has arrived matters more. NYC High Life Radio is following the timetable described in The Gleaner’s October 15, 2026 report.
According to that report, the Overseas Examinations Commission says it aims to settle outstanding claims for the 2026 Grade 4 and Grade 5 PEP examinations by Friday, October 16. The report also notes that incomplete payment information could delay some individual claims.
Our editorial view: workers deserve clear updates about both payment progress and unresolved paperwork. Readers should consult the linked report and the commission directly for the latest position. This article does not confirm that any outstanding payment has been completed.
