HIGH SCHOOL MODERATION PROCESS

In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (30 June 2011) (Estimates Committee B).

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development): In 2010, a total of 6,490 classes were delivered in all of the available Stage 2 SACE subjects.

Of the total number of classes, 2,658 had no moderation changes.

Of the total number of classes, 427, or 7 per cent, were marked up as a result of the moderation process.

Of the total number of classes, 3,405, or 52 per cent, were marked down as a result of the moderation process.

Note: The figures given do not represent discrete classes, because more than one form of moderation may be used for the same subject. Thus, in some instances classes have been double-counted to reflect total moderation effects.
