Thousands of Victorian senior school students will start examinations in early November, with results available toward the end of the year, following major interruptions to the school curriculum due to COVID-19.
Education minister James Merlino announced Victorian Certificate of Education, VCE, exams would start on November 9, earlier than the government first expected when remote learning started in term two.
The State Government expects the November date will give sufficient time for teachers and students to complete adjusted VCE unit-four learning and school-based assessments and prepare for VCE examinations.
“The announcement gives students, teachers and parents certainty in what has been a very disrupted year,” Mr Merlino said.
