What is your mission? 

The Official Secretariat's mission is to ensure the best overall support for our examination boards, so they can do what they are supposed to do: maintaining and assuring the quality of examinations, thereby guaranteeing the value of our degrees.

We also support the admissions boards and many other processes.


How do you approach this within the online and physical educational environment? 

We receive students’ requests and questions/reports from teachers etcetera. We answer where possible, ask for further information, draft preliminary advices, and mail the decisions taken by the boards. Given the duties of the boards, not all requests can be honoured. Therefore, understandably, we do not only have fans... Just know we’re working hard for everyone.
