Independent Examinations Board
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Independent Examinations Board or IEB is a South African independent assessment agency which offers examinations for various client schools.
It is most prominent in setting the examinations for the school-leaving National Senior Certificate (NSC) (which replaced the Senior Certificate and Further Education and Training Certificate) which many private schools in South Africa write.
The IEB exams are considered by many teachers, parents, students and universities, both within South Africa and abroad, as a more challenging and comprehensive assessment than the state and provincial equivalents.
Many students with excellent IEB results have been accepted to Ivy League and Oxbridge institutions without taking further requirements such as A-levels and SATs.
It was originally created in 1988 to replace the defunct Joint Matriculation Board due to fears of interference in examination standards by the apartheid regime.
