Additional Information

Additional Information
I am the Past Examiner in charge of Automotive Studies at Examinations & Assessment Division. This is a part time seconded position as during the examination cycle each year I report to Examination & Assessment Division to spearhead the Automotive examinations at the various schools across the country along with normally two other individuals. After the exams are completed, I supervise the marking, recording and finally present the correlated information to the external supervisors from Cambridge International Examinations for their "signing off" on the accuracy of the country's examination results for that year. Thereafter I return to my teaching position at Government High until the next year.
