Conclusion
Lessons Learned
All examination expenditures were funded from GOT‟s Budget Allocations to MET for 2012/2013 and 2013/2014.
All examination related activities in 2013 were 100% completed, yet a good numbers did not meet their due dates. This is due mainly to staff attitude and commitment to one‟s responsibilities.
ATLAS program for processing of the examination need to be personalised and owned by MET and adjusted to suit the new national curriculum requirement.
Only SEE amongst the four National External Examinations achieved the examination attendance target level of 98% for registered candidates.
Way Forward
MET should empower the Examination Unit with staff of appropriate skills.
Exams Unit should make an effort from 2014 onward to ensure that all of its‟ activities ARE executed and completed as scheduled by:
Strictly observing the conditions of its contracts with the examiners, moderators, markers and supervisors.
Liaising closely with MET Finance on the processing of its‟ Request Orders.
Liaising closely with client schools on the examination formalities, processes and procedures.
