The cut here happened when a decision was made arbitrarily to save money and cut at this spot particularly because there was no one there to represent the exam. Now they are hoping that the teachers will show up again in the best interest of the students. However, given the landscape of cuts to education the teachers are withdrawing there services. There are 7/10 spots filled with teachers who are worried about the kids or are new markers and this is an avenue to try and find work. It went poorly in January and it will be impossible to finish on time in June.

They can target well educated, Masters or PhD degree holders for the TFWs. They can probably do better than the students they previously used.
Or the government can just adopt the grading system one of my professors told me about. You take the papers/exams to the top of a staircase. Drop them down the stairs and rank them based on landing position. Best marks for the highest up and lowest marks for the papers that made it down furthest.
