(i) Selection and appointment of markers The markers were selected and appointed in accordance with Chapter E of the Personnel Administration Measures (PAM). The selection teams comprised officials from Quality Assurance and Curriculum GET (both province and district) Directorates. The Organized Labour observed the process. The minimum criteria required educators who are currently teaching the grade and the subject concerned. The qualifying educators were nominated for centralized moderation on the basis of seniority in terms of years of service in the grade and relevant phase. (ii) Marking and Moderation Procedures The subject specialists who had been trained by DBE conducted memoranda discussion sessions with all the markers at the marking centre before commencing marking to standardise marking. Marking was done as per the DBE stipulated norm time for each grade and paper. The senior and chief markers moderated 10% of the scripts that had been marked by the markers. The process of marking and moderation at the marking centre was monitored by the DBE, provincial and district officials. The Organised Labour also observed the process. 4.3.9. Data Capturing and Processing The capturing of the learners’ scores was done by a contracted service provider. The DBE was responsible for the analysis of data and the release of a report. The content of the national report comprises the average performance percentage of learners as well as the learner performance per achievement level per subject per grade. Hence, the province developed a supplementary diagnostic instrument that focussed on the analysis of the performance of learners in the particular content area/learning outcome. This process also identified the worst performed questions as well as possible misconceptions with a view to develop focused interventions. 4.3.10. Reporting The Minister of Basic Education released the results of ANA on 3 December 2012. The KZN province will share the results with all the stakeholders through the colloquia which will be conducted in all 12 districts. The findings will lead to the development of relevant intervention strategies focusing on the identified areas for development in the teaching and learning of Language and Mathematics in the GET band. The reporting on ANA 2012 results is discussed in Chapter 5 of this report. 4.4 The 2012 National Senior Certificate (NSC) The National Senior Certificate is a qualification at Level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) that was introduced in 2008 for the first time to grade 12 candidates who comply with the national policy requirements set out in the policy document, The National Senior Certificate: A Qualification at level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). The National Senior Certificate is nationally and internationally recognized as an “exit point” in South Africa from the schooling system, and as an entrance qualification to tertiary institutions and study. 52
