Independent Examinations Board
Encyclopedia : I : IN : IND : Independent Examinations Board
The Independent Examinations Board or IEB is an 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 formerly known as the Joint Matriculation Board.
