Circular 0056/2007 indicated that schools would receive the marking memoranda for Grade 11 national papers via e-mail. This has been done for all national papers written so far.
|
| 2. |
The WCED has since received requests to release, on the day of the examination, marking memoranda for question papers written in the afternoon so that teachers may begin marking immediately.
|
| 3. |
The following arrangements have now been made for schools to receive the relevant marking memoranda on the day of the examination:
|
| 3.1.1 |
Morning question papers: Marking memoranda will be sent via e-mail to schools and district directors by 12:00 on the day of the examination.
|
| 3.1.2 |
Afternoon question papers: Marking memoranda will be sent via e-mail to schools and district directors by 15:30 on the day of the examination.
|
| 4. |
For security reasons, school principals are to ensure that the marking memoranda are not released to the classrooms or to teachers before the conclusion of the examination.
|
| 5. |
Should it be found that there has been a breach of security and confidentiality, the current arrangements for the release of the marking memoranda will be reviewed.
|
| 6. |
As stated in Circular 0056/2007, marking memoranda must be discussed in subject teams, under the leadership of the HOD or subject head, to ensure that all teachers in the school follow memoranda closely.
|
| 7. |
Mark sheets from the DOE for the Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy and the official languages will be sent to schools shortly. These will, however, be available only in hard-copy format and must be completed and returned to the WCED at the end of November.
|
| 8. |
The WCED thanks you for your commitment and co-operation in administering the Grade 11 examinations and ensuring their credibility.
