Validity Of School Certificate Marking In Doubt  

by Phil Waring  

SC and HSC Markers Special  

Interest Group  

At the beginning of the  

second week of the  

School Certificate  

Markers’ Dispute the Depart-  

ment’s Examinations Division  

made an extaordinary decision  

to base the results of the 1985  

Year 10 English moderator  

examination on only two sec-  

tions of the paper. This action  

was obviously made in an  

attempt to offset the impact of  

the dispute on the marking  

timetable.  

It is now perfectly clear that  

the Department has little regard  

for the concept of corporate  

marking that is “a large  

number of markers, being fully  

briefed, then marking for  

relatively short period of time (2  

to weeks) in order to maintain  

standards and keep the strain on  

markers to an acceptable  

minimum.”  

This action by the Depart-  

ment means that the results for  

the School Certificate modera-  

tor, to be forwarded to schools,  

will be based on Part  

multiple choice (machine  

marked) and Part Short  

Literary Response. Not only is  

this considerably less than the  

whole paper but it raises serious  

questions about the validity of  

any results arrived at using this  

procedure. To add to the unre-  

liability factor, Part was being  

marked in different marking  

centres by less than 20% of those  

markers originally employed for  

the normal marking period.

JL lf>telv arl hnr situation  

 

Therefore the Federation  

totally rejects the Department’s  

ttempts at guessing school’s  

grades for the 1985 School  

Certificate moderator.  

Failure of Compulsory  

Conference  

In response to Mr Justice  

Bauer’s direction for compul-  

sory conference (Wednesday,  

21st August 1985) the two  

unions met with representatives  

the Education Commission to  

negotiate the two central issues  

in the dispute:  

• Parity of Rates the same  

hourly rate as the current HSC  

rate an extra $2.40 an hour),  

Genuine Negotiations  

that the De artment re ® to  

undertake serious negotiations  

on the joint union log of claims  

for SC and HSC markers.  

The Education Commission’s  

response was in fact nil  

response they refused to  

negotiate and stated that they  

wanted their listing for the  

current rates of pay to go before  

the Commission.  

Commission Hearing, Thursday  

29th August, 1985.  

Federation argued that the  

Industrial Commission treat the  

matter as serious dispute and  

give it high priority for reso-  

lution to avoid any possible  

disruptions to HSC marking  

later in the year. Justice Bauer  

suggested that the parties meet  

to allow further negotiations to  

take place before the hearing is  

re-convened on Wednesday, 4th  

September, 1985.  

Members must be mindful of  

the threat to their school’s  

moderator results for 1985  

and in respect of this should  

voice their concern to Federa-  

tion over the Department’s  

inadequate approach to arrive at  

satisfactory results for both the  

dispute and the validity of the  

moderator examination
