The standard of assessment tasks across the country also continues to vary and in certain cases, CASS marks remain unreliable as is evident in the report. 41
Chapter 4 Monitoring of the Conduct of the Senior Certificate Examination 1. Introduction approach was adopted for the monitoring of the Senior Certificate Examination in 2005. Umalusi began the monitoring of the Senior Certificate in 2000 and started playing a verification role in 2003. Assessment bodies are required to closely monitor the administration of examinations and report to Umalusi on a daily basis. Umalusi deploys monitors to assessment bodies’ head offices, examination centres and marking centres to verify the contents of reports submitted to Umalusi. The following phases of the Senior Certificate Examination were monitored: Monitors, together with the assessment body representatives were trained at Umalusi offices and the training was held on 31 August 2005 where all assessment bodies were represented. However, it became clear to Umalusi that representatives from assessment bodies that are sent for training are not the officials responsible for monitoring in some assessment bodies. Furthermore, they do not provide feedback to the responsible people when they get back. This became evident when Umalusi • The design phase which focuses on the state of readiness of the assessment bodies to administer the examination; • The conduct of examinations which includes the writing and marking process; and • The capturing, processing and release of results, which includes capturing of marks, standardization and release of results. reminded assessment bodies of information and documentation pertaining to monitoring. 2.
