1. In accordance with the monitoring protocol of 2003, which applies to both the Senior Certificate and the ABET Level 4 Examinations, the latter examinations will be monitored again this year as part of the quality assurance responsibilities of the Department of Education.
2. EMDC directors must delegate the responsibility for monitoring the ABET examinations to teams consisting of three officials. These teams must use the monitoring instrument supplied by Umalusi (Annexure A).
3. During the examination period, the monitoring team must visit at least two ABET centres per week (i.e. a total of 8 visits) and report back to the delegated EMDC assessment representative each week.
4. The EMDC assessment representative must use the standard report format to collate the monitoring team's reports. The collated reports must be sent to the examination monitoring co-ordinator, Mr TJ Magwaca, on 5, 12, 19 and 26 June 2006. Provincial reports will be sent each Tuesday to Umalusi and it is, therefore, imperative that EMDC reports arrive at Head Office without delay.
5. In addition to the intensive monitoring done for Umalusi, EMDCs must use the monitoring instrument (Annexure B) to monitor at least 50% of all centres where ABET examinations are written. This instrument can be used by all other officials who visit ABET examination centres.
