VCE Exam Leaks Prompt Urgent Review of Victorian Assessment Authority
The Victorian government orders an external review after leaked exam questions spark concerns of unfair advantages for students.
- The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) mistakenly published exam questions online, leading to potential advantages for some students.
- Education Minister Ben Carroll has commissioned a comprehensive review of the VCAA's operations following three consecutive years of exam errors.
- Students and educators are calling for immediate measures to ensure fairness in grading, including the possibility of derived scores for affected students.
- The VCAA insists that no exams were compromised, but evidence suggests that similar questions appeared on the actual exams.
- An independent monitor will be appointed to oversee the 2025 VCE exams to restore confidence in the assessment process.
