Matric exam WhatsApp cheating scandal exposed

[BuckRogers]

And once they get to varsity they will be totally out of their depth.

The playing field at Varsity is not level

 

[TPM]

WHY are cellphones allowed in exams ?
They should be handed in.
Shouldn't the teachers ge charged and jailed ?

 

[Okty]

The Road to Varsity is paved with cheating. No doubt that the road to achieving a degree uses the same paving stones, there is ample evidence that there are special categories of students.

And then they wonder why, when they look for The Road to Employment, that they cannot find it.

Shoe, what did the Indian/Asian okes do to have that ramp from Q42020 to Q42021?

At this rate businesses will be implementing mini matric exams to job candidates as part of the interview process.

The fact they have to cheat for such a piss easy matric syllabus is sad

Yes.

This has to to with cheating and nothing else.

The past of South Africa has absolutely nothing to do with that chart you just posted.

And then they get to uni, and burn down the place because it's too hard

I have no idea what you are on about.

Do pupils not realise that if the have to cheat to pass matric maths, they have no chance of passing university maths. University maths is significantly more difficult than matric maths.

Doesn't present a problem.. if the maths is too hard, you blame Verwoerd. If that doesn't work, you burn down a building or two..

They already have a way around it. Go into the humanities and tell everyone that maths is racist and every faculty that needs it must have its maths curriculum controlled by the humanities.

Oh and if you disagree with them, you will be called a racist and booted out of university.

I don't understand why UNISA doesn't enforce the same policy across the entire university.

Their CSET department (all the science, mathematics and computer science stuff) made all their exams IRIS invigilated (recording the screen, mic audio and webcam). Just tighten stuff up with a lockdown browser and having to walk the webcam around the room, etc and it's good to go.

I wrote an Iris exam in June and it does what is should. The problem is that it had its limitations. If you stick the whole wall behind the laptop or PC with notes. The webcam is not going to notice. You can walk the webcam around the room and have the notes all stuck on a poster that you flip around when you start.

The department found grounds to act after one teacher posted answers to the Life Science Paper 2 on a WhatsApp group for teachers — seemingly thinking it was one of the paid cheating groups.

Eish, Cheating on a L O paper

Life science is biology, not LO

 

[Bewlen]

Fu***t, just give them BA Political Sciences degrees and unleash them on the job market. Eusebius is gonna hate the competition.

 

[Kornhub]

It was called biology in my day :/

Overseas companies do. There are plenty of blusterers out there. When I went for my interview for the offshore oil industry, I was sat down and given a two hour paper on maths, electricity, hydraulics, mechanics and electronics before getting interviewed. Fail it and you don't even get to the interview.

Already done by the government. The top people in SA are sociologists and engineers are not needed. Have a chat with Jay Naidoo, Alec Erwin and Wits University:

In 1994 Jay Naidoo's RDP office in the Presidency claimed that engineers were elitists with no part to play in SA's future. As a consequence the DTI has provided no policy that includes engineering in development, believing that sociologists and economists can do a better job than engineers. In 2003 the Presidency issued a statement confirming that sociologists at the Sociology of Work Unit at Wits were the experts in manufacturing development not engineers.

So the problem in SA is that our universities are teaching sociologists and economists that by studying these subjects that receive magical power that can overcome science and technology.

In 1996 the Sociology of Work unit at Wits stated to the DTI that Ford, GM, Goodyear and Siemens were incompetent in manufacturing development. A belief that Minister Davies used in parliament in 2010 to justify a position of government

Having got rid of all the engineers who effectively ran Eskom, it should come as no surprise that Eskom's principal business tools are incompetence, uselessness, irresponsibility, muddled thinking and stupidity.

I would take the way a developer approaches a bunch of advent-of-code problems any day over a sheet of paper.

Jussus if you're going to rant in a thread about education, maybe try using a spell checker

The guy is clearly Afrikaans speaking so give it a rest. Also it is is not Jussus, is is the blasphemy Jesus as said in Afrikans...
