The Department of Basic Education (DBE) is again considering the centralised marking of selected small subjects in 2016. The list of subjects will be communicated to the aspirant markers as soon as it is made available by the DBE. In the event that such a list is made available after the appointments have been done, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) will nullify the appointments done in those selected subjects. |
| 7. |
The marking of the NSC examination scripts is one of the most important aspects of the examination process. The WCED takes pride in the appointment of qualified and competent markers. Principals and other senior officials who recommend markers must, therefore, act in good faith. Please note that supplying incorrect information on the application form will be regarded as fraud and will be dealt with in terms of the Employment of Educators Act, 1998 (Act 76 of 1998). |
| 8. |
It is imperative that principals, district directors, circuit managers and curriculum advisers bring the content of this minute to the attention of all educators so that they are familiar with the appointment criteria before submitting applications. The Directorate: Assessment Management cannot accept responsibility if educators are not informed of the contents of this minute. |
