If a principal or centre manager requests the shift of a subject or question paper from the date specified, he or she must propose the date when the subject or paper may be written and furnish the WCED with the motivation for the requested shift. However, the shifting of a subject or paper will be considered only if it will not have a negative impact on the majority of candidates affected by the shift. |
