Summary
A retired teacher is sounding the alarm over potential grade inflation in Year 12, alleging some educators are artificially boosting marks by submitting lower-quality work as top-tier examples for moderation — risking unfair university admissions. While the SACE Board insists no evidence exists and defends its peer-review system, the Independent Education Union acknowledges the pressure teachers face to showcase student excellence, and many educators echo these concerns. In response, the SACE Board is now reviewing its moderation process, considering a return to random sampling of student work to ensure fairness — signaling a serious, ongoing effort to restore trust in the grading system.
