Summary
As Zululand district NSC monitor I gained useful exposure and experience to monitor National examinations. The experience I gained as principal and Chief invigilator for 23 years helped me understand the Conduct, Administration and Management of the writing of examinations in line with Umalusi directives and requirements. The experience I gained at marking centres as marker, senior marker as well as deputy chief marker also helped me understand Umalusi directives and requirements.
