Education Minister Ben Carroll has called for a full investigation into errors in this year\u2019s VCE exams, saying he is disappointed in a series of \u201cstuff-ups\u201d that should never have occurred.<\/p>\n
Carroll said on Monday he had asked the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) to review its processes after six students were incorrectly given the wrong Chinese language exam last week.<\/p>\n

Thousands of general maths students have already been awarded a bonus point due to one of the errors.<\/p>\n Carroll said he asked the VCAA to ensure academic institutions were more closely involved in the writing and vetting of future exams.<\/p>\n The minister said it was \u201ctraumatic\u201d for anything to go wrong during a year 12 exam and authorities had to ensure the same mistakes were not repeated in future years.<\/p>\n Carroll said he had met with VCAA since the exam period had begun and would meet with the authority again on Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cI am disappointed,\u201d he said. \u201cThe stuff-ups should not have occurred in the first place. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve asked for a full review.\u201d<\/p>\n
