Malpractices can happen when examination regulation guidelines are not followed as should be for example when writing an exam. We found that this happens mainly in part-time students when someone else enters with a fake ID and writes an exam on behalf of another person, or the opening of question papers beforehand. In the case of St. Boniface, we only found that learners wrote the same answers, however after our investigations we were satisfied that there was no malpractice,\u201d Steemkamp said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She further explained that in cases where learners got access to question papers and intentionally shared it with someone, punitive action is always taken, and learners will not receive their results and the teacher will be held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are clear grievances processes that we follow in holding learners and teachers accountable. We are extremely careful as it is the credibility of our examinations that we are protecting,\u201d Steenkamp concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":301781,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-301794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
