00:00It's been a gobsmacking stuff up, but students still took the exam despite not being taught
00:08the subject matter.
00:09Well obviously it was quite stressful in the moment, it's year 12, we're in external exams.
00:14The bungle came to light just two days ago when it was revealed Brisbane State High
00:19Ancient History students were taught all about the Roman Emperor Augustus when the exam was
00:24actually on Julius Caesar.
00:26I was disappointed for the children.
00:28I'm actually quite concerned and also intrigued to know how could that have happened.
00:34A check of all schools later found nine had taught the wrong subject.
00:39Schools encouraged students to cram the Great Roman and sit the exam, but that wasn't the
00:44message from the Minister.
00:45We're not going to ask them to do an exam for which they haven't been prepared.
00:49It's clear he thinks it's unfair, but...
00:51I'm not sure about the actual process of what's happening with the examination, I'm happy to
00:56come back and report to you.
00:57He is lazy.
00:58He is clueless.
00:59And what is really appalling is that this is incredibly stressful for those students.
01:06This is not the end of the world.
01:07It should never have happened according to a former board member of the curriculum body,
01:12which notified all schools of the change two years in a row.
01:16It's enormously disappointing that this has happened in light of the various processes that are
01:22put in place to in fact avoid such a situation.
01:25The Minister has made it clear that the exam only accounts for 25% of the final result.
01:31The students have already been assessed for the 75% of their subject matter.
01:36They will all be given special consideration and graded favourably whether they sat the exam
01:41or not.
01:42Our teacher is kicking himself up over it, but honestly it's not on him.
01:45It's not on him.
01:46It's not on him.
01:47It's not on him.
