It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2012 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.

Page 8 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2012 0453 02 © Cambridge International Examinations 2012 (c) Levels marking: Level 1 (1–2 marks) Simple statements which describe statistics or simple reasons/evaluation without reference to statistics. e.g. the statistics show that there are more road accidents in Nigeria; the statistics show that more people are killed/injured in Nigeria; the roads are safer in Denmark/the roads are safer in Denmark. Level 2 (3–4 marks) Developed statements linked to migration which analyse and evaluate statistics. e.g. the statistics show that there are more road accidents in Nigeria so people are pushed away from there as roads are unsafe; the statistics show that more people are killed/injured in Nigeria so this helps researchers to understand why safety is a push factor etc. Level 3 (5 marks) A comprehensive answer which analyses and evaluates statistics. e.g. the statistics show that there are more road accidents in Nigeria so people are pushed away from there as roads are unsafe; the statistics show that more people are killed/injured in Nigeria so this helps researchers to understand why safety is a push factor; however comparisons like these may have little meaning without being able to compare number of cars on road; there may be far more deaths in Nigeria on the roads but in comparison with Denmark its population is far larger etc. NB: Comprehensive needs two developed ideas. [5] (d) (i) Completion of graph. Name of country not required for mark. 1 mark [1] (ii) Denmark has a higher adult literacy than Nigeria or vice versa; Denmark 99% and Nigeria 68%/31% higher; Denmark has a higher percentage of GDP spent on education or vice versa; Denmark 8% and Nigeria 0.9%/7.1% higher. Reasons (0) NB: The answer must compare. There is no tolerance on statistics. Accept reverse. 4 @ 1 mark [4] (iii) Graph shows positive relationship/higher % spent on education the higher the literacy or vice versa; Statistics to support e.g. UK 99%/5.6% and India 61%/3.2%; However relationship is not perfect; Philippines has higher literacy % than India but spends smaller % of GDP on education. NB: No tolerance on statistics. 3 @ 1 mark [3]

Government officials 44%. NB: Allow a tolerance of + or – 1 for statistics. 2 @ 1 mark [2] (iii) Ideas such as: people may not trust politicians/leaders/authorities may act dishonestly; people may have to pay bribes to officials; government officials or elected leaders may spend taxes to benefit themselves rather than the people/money spent on people so they remain poor; people want to be treated fairly/don’t want to be treated unfairly or example etc. The following answers would need more development for credit: move to feel safer; political instability. 2 @ 1 mark [2] [TOTAL: 29 marks] 5 Levels marking: Level 1 (1–3 marks) An evaluation of the options with basic points. Level 2 (4–6 marks) An evaluation of the options with developed points. Level 3 (7 marks) A full and sophisticated evaluation of the options with developed points. NB: Use highlighting symbol to show simple points and Dev symbol to indicated developed points.
