MEMORANDUM A01 OF 2012 To: Heads of Examinations and Assessment

National, Provincial, District, Regional and Circuit AET Coordinators Umalusi Public Adult Learning Centre Managers

GETC: ABET LEVEL 4 EXAMINATION AND ASSESSMENT PROCESSES 2012/13 Dear Colleagues Your attention is drawn to the following examinations and assessment processes for the 2012/13 GETC: ABET Level 4 qualification. Kindly ensure that the issues raised are attended to. 1. This memorandum A01 of 2012 consists of 17 pages including the attachments.

2. The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) approved June and November 2012

timetables, attached as ANNEXURE A, which are hereby handed over to the PEDs to ensure

that preparations for both examinations are done on time and appropriately.

3. The national marking memoranda discussion meetings schedules for both the June and

November 2012 examinations are attached as ANNEXURE B. The venue for all marking

memoranda meetings will be 222 Struben Street, Sol Plaatje House in Pretoria.

4. PEDs are requested to send both the chief marker and the internal moderator for every learning

area offered to the national marking memoranda discussion meetings. These officials must be

assisted to pre-mark 20 scripts and compile an analysis of the performances (ANNEXURE C).

You are advised to please organise pre-marking sessions in the provincial head offices in order

to manage the compilation of these pre-marking reports. The completion and availability of the

reporting template replaces the need to transport scripts to Pretoria for the meetings.

5. Please discourage learners from registering for seven or more learning areas because they only

need a minimum of five or six learning areas depending on the correct combinations. This is

determined by the credit allocation as specified in ANNEXURE D.
