Exam logistics

I deal with a lot of logistics in my work in Tanzania. Mostly it involves trying to make sure about 40,000 student tests are matched to the right student and transported safely back from the field, twice a year. And a load of other things that mostly involves being a polite control freak with the data firm.

It just struck me the other day what an amazing job countries do year in, year out to ensure all their student tests are correctly marked and recorded for national exams.

Can you imagine one wrong mark that could change the course of someone’s life?
