NZQA balks at scanning option

"The New Zealand Qualifications Authority rejected scanning exam papers into a document management system, without doing a business case, because it thought it was too costly and would take too long.

However, some IT industry executives say setting up a system to scan and keep an electronic record of examination papers is a relatively simple job which could be completed for a six-figure sum.
Controversy erupted over the exam papers early this month when results showed lower and irregular pass rates for NCEA tests, particularly for scholarship.
The Government wanted hundreds of NCEA scholarship papers remarked, only to find the NZQA had returned them to students without keeping copies. " (REUBEN SCHWARZ @ STUFF)
