I don't think that there is any comprehension of how we have to apply this paperwork in the conduct of examinations, within the college structure. Having to hand write their forms is beyond belief. When I have asked OCR if we can generate our own version they have said no. Is this progress???

This month of June we have almost been driven mad with the amount of paperwork required for Text Processing, Certificate in Admin etc, not to mention CLAIT PLUS. How can they justify all this additional work? As to unit numbering for the Certificate in Admin - the number of times I have supplied the wrong papers to individual exams is quite alarming, all due to the subject codes now being used by OCR (RSA). Time to make a move, I think. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sue Farthing <mailto:[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 3:09 PM Subject: Re: FromAoC: Edexcel - Summer 2003 GNVQ and VCE award claims inel igibility report I hope that the new NQF paper work requirements for all Boards will be included in these discussions. We are constantly being requested to reduce the amount of paperwork that our tutors have to complete due to the overload they are facing and I thought that the government was already recognising the effect of bureaucracy on the admin load of tutors. Not a lot of sign of any reduction of paperwork and fewer chances to automate the systems as far as I can see.

I am on the planning group for the next AOC/ACRA Examinations Officers Conference, we will be meeting next month and I will be raising the issue again about EDEXCEL and its various admin procedures. -----Original Message----- From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of r.wordsworth Sent: 26 June 2003 10:28 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: FromAoC: Edexcel - Summer 2003 GNVQ and VCE award claims inel igibility report We also received a reasonably lengthy report from EDEXCEL for students that were ineligible, in virtually all cases there wasn't a problem or Edexcel had entered students for the wrong units. I have written to EDEXCEL expressing my concerns over the procedure. Two students in particular have been sorted out on three separate occasions but further ineligibility reports were received from EDEXCEL. I would also urge anyone who has had problems to contact EDEXCEL in writing otherwise the service offered will never change.

This year, as last, we have received information from Edexcel about a considerable problem over ineligible student entries for GNVQ and VCE awards. While we cannot verify that all the information is accurate the scale of the problem ranges between 2 and 4% in some areas. This affects several thousand students. We would urge all colleges to read carefully the recent letter received from Edexcel and contact them directly with any queries in writing to: Edexcel 32 Russell Square London, WC1B 5DN Jon Cole Student Records Manager Room 115 Tel: 020 7510 7801 Tower Hamlets College Fax: 020 7538 9197 Poplar High Street, Email: [log in to unmask] London., E14 0AF http://www.tower.ac.uk <http://www.tower.ac.uk> ********************************************************************** IMPORTANT: This email and its attachments are intended for the addressee only and may be confidential.
