Common Testing at grade 11

Please let us be serious and take assessment as one fundamental aspect of learning and teaching. The papers that were written for both Math and MathLit were having a lot of errors in both question papers and MEMOs. This is clearly unacceptable.

These papers become public knowledge and there are learners who their parents are math teachers too and even worse DoE officials. How can we claim to have vision/mission of Quality Education if even assessment from Examination and Assessments Services is full careless mistakes?

I am sure, it is not that the people who set the papers are not capable, but Monitoring, Control and Moderation was not adhered too, hence a lot a errors manifest themselves across the entire question papers.

There is need to do things on time and careful monitoring. Cut unnecessary debates/meetings as they actually eat on work time. We need to make sure that we minimize talking and to work!
I am sure somebody somewhere is not doing his/her work properly. May be we need an independent Monitoring Commission just for Services and Implementation in the DoE.

Comments welcome!
