The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations, including organising the holding of examinations; ensuring the preparation of examination papers and other examination materials; determining procedures in places where examinations are conducted including the supervision of examinations; and making arrangements for the marking of work presented for examination.

In view of this, I have forwarded the Deputy's query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to him.
