Ofqual to review exam setting processes
Exam watchdog Ofqual is planning to review rules regarding teachers writing and reviewing exam papers.
Ofqual will conduct a review of the rules under which serving teachers take part in writing and reviewing question papers, and the safeguards in place to prevent disclosure of confidential information.
The watchdog states that the involvement of serving teachers in the process of exam setting has “many benefits” and that “exam malpractice by teachers is rare”. However, Ofqual also states that “access to live materials must be appropriately controlled and risks to security minimised”.
Ofqual will investigate whether the safeguards in place are sufficiently robust and whether changes are needed.
A progress update will be provided in the watchdog’s Summer Report, which will be published later this year.
