I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question.
Stage 1 courses will remain unchanged—that is, no
examinations. All stage 2 and 3 courses are examinable. However, exams are not
compulsory for stage 2 units in 2014 and 2015. If a school does not want to
have compulsory exams for any of its stage 2 units, it does not have to. They
are examinable and it can have them if need be, but it is not compulsory.
