Today, more than 91 810 full time and 19 102 part time registered (110 912 in total) National Senior Certificate candidates finished their 2015 final examination that started in October, 26 2015.
Since all the 23 education districts reported smooth and error free examination, marking this weekend will commence in all the 18 provincial marking centres. All the papers will be delivered to these 18 centres that are scheduled to start marking from the 28 November to 15 December 2015.
Eighteen (18) Irregularity Investigators were appointed to handle irregularities in their entirety; they will be stationed at the marking centres to investigate and adjudicate on all irregularity cases identified. Marking centre personnel will be responsible for the effective management of all subject entries and the process will be completed by 15 December 2015.
Capturing of marks will be done in 6 capturing venues, which will be in the following district offices: Mthatha, Uitenhage, Queenstown, Graaff-Reinet, Grahamstown, Sterkspruit, Cradock, and the East London Education Leadership Institute. 55 capturers were identified to deploy to these 8 capturing centres (additional capturers will be appointed because of the increase in the numbers).
The capturing of marks will be completed by 18 December 2015. The province is fully prepared to capture the marks as per the Examination Management Plan. The Eastern Cape Department of Education is working very hard to ensure that we deliver a credible high quality examination and continues to implement astute monitoring and oversight capacity in all examination centres in the Province.
