BEC to begin standardisation in e-marking

Briefing the media earlier today, Director of Examinations Administration and Certification at BEC Dorcas Morake revealed that standardisation means BEC will have a marking scheme that conforms to the question papers of the exam and is set to be used throughout the marking of the exams.

“With e-marking, we are to start with standardisation and apply it throughout. The next step will have to be producing a marking scheme for the exam papers, and after producing the marking scheme, we will bring the senior officials who are well experienced to look at the answers in the marking scheme,” she said. Morake added that after some days, the examiners will be next in line to also look at the scheme against the questions and see if there are no answers left behind. She further said when all this is done that is when marking of the scripts can commence.
