TABAQUITE MP Anita Haynes urged that moderators for the CSEC exam be allowed to defer their work until July to curb their chances of catching the covid19 virus, addressing a news conference at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition on Sunday.
While teachers internally mark their pupils school-based assessment (SBA) exercises, the Ministry of Education sends out moderators to check the fairness/consistency of these marking exercises by themselves observing samples of pupil labs/scripts at various schools. Some persons have reached out to me to talk about the moderating exercise for SBA s in CSEC. Moderators have been asked at this time to visit schools and check samples. They are now looking at moving about the country to check these samples. They have noted that there would be no disadvantage to students if this exercise is moved to July or such a time when we get the covid numbers under control.
