Tarabella - Marchesi, Ms NI to ask the Minister of Basic Education

Has her department established a new examination panel for the Business Studies Examination for the 2019 National Senior Certificate examinations; if so, what are the reasons for the establishment of the new panel?

Reply:

All examining panels are subjected to an annual review process, based on feedback from the previous cycle as well and replacements that may be necessary given the normal process of attrition. The 2018 Business Studies examining panel comprised four examiners and one internal moderator. On conclusion of the 2018 cycle, three examiners tendered their resignations due to personal reasons. Additional examiners were appointed to replace those that resigned and the panel has been augmented to ensure that internal moderation is strengthened. The panel now comprise four examiners and two internal moderators.
