I am pleased to hear the level at which moderation will take place. The Minister stated that following internal moderation there would also be external moderation of all schools for all subjects by the State Examinations Commission. Will the Minister explain how this will happen? How much of this detail is understood by the teachers and the unions? I mean this respectfully. I am very concerned about the teachers, because they are the professionals. Many of them have assured me that this is their single issue, and it is not about going into other areas. Where is the hope?
