The Monitors

18

1. NETRC staff-monitors will be assigned to any testing center(s) nationwide, unannounced in the field.

2. The expenses incurred by external-volunteers are not chargeable to NETRC funds.

Page 19: 2015 nat test admin guidelines edited feb 2015

Orientation at the Division Level

19

This is primarily aimed to orient all the testing staff in the NAT administration. But due to budgetary constraints only one representative per school is authorized to attend - either the SH or the STC. However, a 100% attendance is imposed for the school representative. Sanctions should be meted out for non-attendance.

Hence, a mechanism should be devised so that all testing staff are properly oriented; one of which is orienting all the teaching force in the school by the SH/STC to be ready on exam day in case there will be shortage of REs in other testing centers.

A. students who already transferred:

The School ID of the present/new school
