Fix this textValidity Of School Certificate Marking In Doubt
Fix this textby Phil Waring
Fix this textSC and HSC Markers Special
Fix this textInterest Group
Fix this textAt the beginning of the
Fix this textsecond week of the
Fix this textSchool Certificate
Fix this textMarkers’ Dispute the Depart-
Fix this textment’s Examinations Division
Fix this textmade an extaordinary decision
Fix this textto base the results of the 1985
Fix this textYear 10 English moderator
Fix this textexamination on only two sec-
Fix this texttions of the paper. This action
Fix this textwas obviously made in an
Fix this textattempt to offset the impact of
Fix this textthe dispute on the marking
Fix this texttimetable.
Fix this textIt is now perfectly clear that
Fix this textthe Department has little regard
Fix this textfor the concept of corporate
Fix this textmarking that is “a large
Fix this textnumber of markers, being fully
Fix this textbriefed, then marking for a
Fix this textrelatively short period of time (2
Fix this textto 3 weeks) in order to maintain
Fix this textstandards and keep the strain on
Fix this textmarkers to an acceptable
Fix this textminimum.”
Fix this textThis action by the Depart-
Fix this textment means that the results for
Fix this textthe School Certificate modera-
Fix this texttor, to be forwarded to schools,
Fix this textwill be based on Part A
Fix this textmultiple choice (machine
Fix this textmarked) and Part C Short
Fix this textLiterary Response. Not only is
Fix this textthis considerably less than the
Fix this textwhole paper but it raises serious
Fix this textquestions about the validity of
Fix this textany results arrived at using this
Fix this textprocedure. To add to the unre-
Fix this textliability factor, Part C was being
Fix this textmarked in 3 different marking
Fix this textcentres by less than 20% of those
Fix this textmarkers originally employed for
Fix this textthe normal marking period.

Fix this textFailure of Compulsory
Fix this textConference
Fix this textIn response to Mr Justice
Fix this textBauer’s direction for a compul-
Fix this textsory conference (Wednesday,
Fix this text21st August 1985) the two
Fix this textunions met with representatives
Fix this textQ f the Education Commission to
Fix this textnegotiate the two central issues
Fix this textin the dispute:
Fix this text• Parity of Rates the same
Fix this texthourly rate as the current HSC
Fix this textrate 0 e an extra $2.40 an hour),
Fix this text* Genuine Negotiations
Fix this textthat the De P artment a B re ® to
Fix this textundertake serious negotiations
Fix this texton the joint union log of claims
Fix this textfor SC and HSC markers.
Fix this textThe Education Commission’s
Fix this textresponse was in fact a nil
Fix this textresponse they refused to
Fix this textnegotiate and stated that they
Fix this textwanted their listing for the
Fix this textcurrent rates of pay to go before
Fix this textthe Commission.
Fix this textCommission Hearing, Thursday
Fix this text29th August, 1985.
Fix this textFederation argued that the
Fix this textIndustrial Commission treat the
Fix this textmatter as a serious dispute and
Fix this textgive it a high priority for reso-
Fix this textlution to avoid any possible
Fix this textdisruptions to HSC marking
Fix this textlater in the year. Justice Bauer
Fix this textsuggested that the parties meet
Fix this textto allow further negotiations to
Fix this texttake place before the hearing is
Fix this textre-convened on Wednesday, 4th
Fix this textSeptember, 1985.
Fix this textMembers must be mindful of
Fix this textthe threat to their school’s
Fix this textmoderator results for 1985
Fix this textand in respect of this should
Fix this textvoice their concern to Federa-
Fix this texttion over the Department’s
Fix this textinadequate approach to arrive at
Fix this textsatisfactory results for both the
Fix this textdispute and the validity of the
Fix this textmoderator examination
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
