NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell says she's disappointed after a glitch allowed a 'small number' of students to access their HSC results five days before their official release.

abc.net.au/news/nsw-education-minister-apologises-premature-leak-hsc-results/101758152The NSW education minister has apologised to HSC students after an IT bungle led to the early release of their results.

"Obviously, we're very disappointed that this has happened, I've asked NESA for a full explanation as to why and how this has occurred," she said.It's the second time this year HSC results have been mistakenly released early. In January, thousands of 2021 HSC students were able to access merit lists on the NESA website days before results were due to be released."This bungle has just added unnecessary stress on students, many of whom have no certainty if they were shown their final results or no," she said.

"The NSW government should give certainty to HSC students today and ensure all students can see their results equally."A NESA spokesperson said in a statement "some students" had access to their results "for a short period". "NESA is investigating the cause of the issue and sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused," the statement said.

Like the way they blame it on a IT problem & not a human fuckup

Not quit? If this was a NSWLabor Minister, the corruptAuatralianMedia would be headlining that the 'What a StuffUP!' MINISTER MUST GO. It is time all Ministers In NSW need to be held accountable for the Departments they Head. Oh and the relevant PS, minister advisors get🥾ed

My company designed and implemented the original HSC Results system. There were attempted hackings in the hundreds of thousands and it was NEVER broken. So this is very sloppy and basically human error.

She would have to be the absolute worse,uninformed education minister ever to take on the job.Absolutely useless that’s from NSW teachers just imagine what the parents think

Why is it a big deal

Meh

Why the need to apologise, what harm can this do, if anything it reduces the stress of waiting.

Is it that big a concern?

Is there anything this government can get right?

IT glitch = Poor or non existent IT security, analysis, design, testing, and/or production rollout. Same. Problem. As. Data. Breaches.

Another liberal blunder

How are those mandates working smitchellmlc ?

Let's see some resignations or sackings, make the public service honourable again.

What did ‘The Nutty Professor’ Shergold have to say? 😂
