This might be a completely useless point to make but I remember that after teaching, I subsequently went on to do invigilation for examinations. I always felt that was much more convenient and less time-consuming. Should we be placing an emphasis that anybody who is going to act as an invigilator for examinations might have a couple of years' experience built up in actually correcting those examinations to qualify for that? Perhaps "qualify" is the wrong word, but that experience might be beneficial. In my time, it was much more difficult to get that post than the actual examiner post. It might be something worth thinking about.
