Conduct of the Examinations: The invigilators who supervised the conduct of the examination in the province were trained on the rules of the examination. Those educators who had close relatives writing the National Senior Certificate and Adult Education and Training Examination were not involved in sensitive examination processes. This was done to protect the integrity of the examination. All the Chief Invigilators and invigilators had signed secrecy forms where they bound themselves to the protection of examination information. All Chief Invigilators and invigilators were officially appointed for the duration of the National Senior Certificate and Adult Education and Training examinations. The province used the Regulations pertaining to the conduct, administration and management of the examination to manage irregularities. The examination was monitored by district and provincial personnel. There were also external monitors in the province (from DBE and Umalusi)
