General Rules
Each country participating in the electronic conference is represented by its co-ordinator. He or she is the only person who can send or receive messages and materials of the electronic conference. The tasks of the co-ordinator are therefore to pass the information 'coming into' the electronic conference to the experts of his or her country; to co-ordinate their points of view; and to 'send' their responses back to the electronic conference. These responses will be considered as the viewpoints of a particular country or ministry.
All the messages destined to 'enter' the electronic conference should be sent to the e-mail address exam@list.arnes.si
The electronic conference will be going on for four weeks - from Monday, 10 May, to Friday, 4 June 1999.
In the reference material Examinations at the end of upper secondary education (Extract from the EURYDICE European Glossary on Education Terminology - Volume 1 on diplomas and qualifications - to be published in July 1999 – Appendix 1) the data on the following countries participating in the electronic conference are not yet available: Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, the United Kingdom. These countries are advised to prepare concise descriptions of the missing data and send them to the electronic conference.
The electronic conference is expected to provide a picture of the present-day situation in the field of the examination and certification system at the end of upper secondary general education and present the standpoints and views of the participating 17 countries on the above issues, open questions and trends. In addition, the use of the e-mail will be considered as a technological means for the rapid gathering of information, opinions and standpoints and the preparation of materials.
