IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - EXAMINATIONS
In the December Newsletter, information relating to possible changes to our Examination Grading System was inadvertently announced. The intention of this information was as a discussion point for the Joint Meeting of Techncial and Executive. Executive apologise for this mistake and acknowledge correspondence received from members. It will be, as was the original intention, a topic which will be on the Agenda for discussion at this year's annual conference. This will enable all members the opportunity to discuss the merits of any change to the present Examination Grading System. We will announce in the August Newsletter the preference of the Executive Council and the Technical Committee.
Therefore, there is no change to the Grading System presently used from Initial to Advanced and all Pass Grades will remain in place for the 2013 year.
As a good will gesture, we are prepared to extend the closing date for Initial and Preparatory only , until 13 March. This will give the opportunity for teachers who did not enter candidates in these grades because of the proposed change to grades to now do so.
Executive sincerely regrets this oversight.
