Independent Examinations Board
Bridge House Matrics write the Independent Examinations Board exams. "The answer to the future is not simply to increase the amount of education but to educate people differently - IEB assessment shows the way."
As well as having South African recognition, the IEB Senior Certificate Examination is internationally benchmarked and many candidates are directly accepted into overseas universities. Statistics show a convincing picture of the excellent progress of IEB students at universities with 98% of students continuing or completing their University course between the years 2000 - 2003.
The IEB offers:
- a well administered examination
- rigorous moderation of school-based assessment
- high quality marking of answer scripts
It aims to:
- maintain standards and ensure results are reliable
- ensure good correlation between results and real ability as an indicator for future study
- use assessment to influence teaching and learning positively
- create opportunities for teachers to be involved in the assessment processes
