EducationSummer examinations 2008: have your say
It takes years to prepare for GCSE, AS and A2. It takes hours to mark each examination paper. But it could take just a few minutes of your time to influence future papers by telling standing joint committees what you think!
Every year, union members have a chance to comment both on the administrative arrangements and on the examinations themselves. The process covers AS, A2 and GCSE.
The teachers’ associations maintain Standing Joint Committees (SJCs) to let Examination bodies know the views of members about GCSE, AS and A2. SJCs are completely independent and, when they comment, Examination bodies take notice. A written response to SJC comments is then made available to schools and colleges..
Responsibility for collecting feedback about the examinations is shared by the three main teaching unions.
