Hi

Yes you can rely on 3.5 and to some extent 3.4 question papers for practising P3, but you need to identify topic from the question and make sure that it is included in P3 syllabus.

Hi, I'm new to the forum & I'm having a bit of problem understanding key drivers of change. Can you shed some light on this topic for me please ?

[Vandana]

Hi Alvin,

Drivers of change are effectively what makes change happen, and THAT change forces an industry to change. For example, after the internet was introduced, people started sending less letters. We would say that a key driver in the fall of postal services was the introduction of the internet. The postal companies had to change as suddenly their turnover went down. So what did they do? Some made huge losses, others turned their network into a strength and started courier services to all locations.

Equally, imagine a poorly running school, where there are poor pass rates and high student absenteeism. Here, the parents may be key drivers of change, along with perhaps a couple of the teachers. Together they try to make the other teachers/parents understand that low passrates/absenteeism is not acceptable and something should be done. consequently, other teachers may make more of an effort and other parents may take more responsibility for their children going to school regularly.

Hope this helps!:)
