Red Pens at National Level: Nine Curro Klerksdorp Teachers Selected for IEB Marking
While matrics put down their pens, a group of Curro Klerksdorp teachers is about to pick theirs up. The school has honoured the staff members chosen to help mark and moderate this year's Independent Examinations Board (IEB) papers, a role that takes them beyond their own classrooms and into the national assessment process.
Who is marking what
The team covers seven subjects, from Accounting and Mathematics to Setswana and Afrikaans.
- Anesta Jansen van Rensburg: Accounting Paper 2, marker
- Calvin Louw: Business Studies, marker
- Elise Koen: Business Studies, marker
- Mari Weideman: Afrikaans FAL Paper 1, marker
- Andrea Craven: Afrikaans FAL Paper 2, marker
- Gabriel Motsumi: Computer Applications Technology Paper 1 (Practical) and Paper 2 (Theory), marker
- Zidell De Jongh: Mathematics Paper 1, marker
- Ratsie George Motsoane: Geography Paper 1, senior marker
- Patrick Moroane: Setswana FAL Paper 1, examiner and internal moderator
Why the selection matters
According to the school, being chosen for these roles reflects strong subject knowledge, professionalism and a commitment to academic excellence. It is also a contribution to education as a whole, as markers and moderators help keep exam standards consistent for learners across the country.
The school called the selection an honour that reflects the quality of its educators, and wished the team wisdom, accuracy, fairness and strength as the marking process begins.
What this means for you
For Curro Klerksdorp parents and learners, it means teachers who know the IEB's expectations from the inside, experience that flows straight back into the classroom next year.
If you know any of the nine, a word of encouragement during the long marking sessions ahead will go a long way.
