These concerns included:

• curriculum/assessment overload and poor curriculum coverage;
• poor quality of formal assessment tasks;
• lack of guidance on the use of cognitive levels;
• omissions on the forms of assessment; and weighting of assessment with regards to time and marks;
• the need to create more time for teaching and formative assessment;
• the number of tasks based on the need to make valid and reliable judgments about learning outcomes;
• shift from disconnected ‘tagged on’ assessments to credible assessment tasks;
• the nature of the subject and Grade used to determine the required number of assessment tasks; and to reduce dominance by any single type or mode, e.g.: Tests, Projects, Assignments, Case Studies, Simulations etc.
