Recall of exam by Ministry of Education sparks concerns of breach

A notice of recall for the Communication Studies Examination Orals for Form One- Paper 3 2019- by the Ministry of Education, is fueling speculation that there has been a breach of the exam.

The notice was sent out earlier today, May 27.

Efforts to reach the relevant authorities for clarification on the matter were unsuccessful up to press time.

The exam is used a measuring mechanism to ensure that teachers are delivering on the syllabus and also to gauge how well students are receiving the information.

“The replacement examination is scheduled for Wednesday, June 5th, 2019 and all schools will receive the new documents beforehand,” the release stated.

“The CDU is committed to maintaining the standard and integrity of all examinations produced by our department: in so doing, the data generated and collected by these tests will be an accurate and valid representation,” the communique concluded.
