Amnesty International has criticised Qatar’s construction sector as work begins on building the stadiums for the 2022 football World Cup. Amnesty International states that migrant workers in Qatar, one of the richest countries in the world, often do not get paid their wages, work in dangerous conditions and live in poor-quality accommodation. A recent report includes statements from Nepalese workers employed by a company delivering supplies to a construction project. The workers said they were “treated like animals”, working up to 12 hours a day, seven days a week, during Qatar’s hot summer months. Migrant workers have to live in labour camps which are overcrowded. The toilet and washing facilities are so basic and dirty that some men use buckets of water to wash. One migrant worker from Nepal said, “The company I work for doesn’t care about us. We don’t get safety shoes, helmets, safety gloves, good accommodation or good food. Also our pay is low – only US$9 per day – and we often work seven days per week”.

Photograph A (Insert) shows an area of housing in the Bairro da Sé district in Porto. The Porto Urban Pilot Project focused on the historic “Bairro da Sé” district, close to the centre of the city. The neighbourhood had been one of the most deprived districts in Porto, with poor-quality housing, overcrowding, high crime rates and drug abuse. The project aimed to solve these problems through measures designed to improve the urban environment, create economic activity in the area and integrate the socially excluded into neighbourhood life. At the same time, the project aimed to introduce measures which fully respected, maintained and even enhanced the area’s cultural identity and heritage.

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.

0460/12 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED March 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 2 of 15 Levels of response marking is used for section (c) of each question. Thus it is the quality of the response that determines which level an answer is achieved rather than the quantity of statements contained within it. However, once assigned to a level the mark achieved within that level is determined by the number of points made. Levels 1 and 2 are distinguished by whether statements are simple (level 1) or developed/elaborated (level 2). A candidate can immediately enter L2 by making developed points without making any L1 statements. In order to achieve L3 a candidate must have already reached the top end of L2 – in addition his/her answer should have a clear example and if the answer is place specific as well (7 marks). Highlight place specific detail. Where statements are assigned levels by the examiner this should be indicated by the use of L1 and L2 next to the statements. Ticks should not be used on answers that are marked using levels of response marking. L1 annotation should be removed once a L2 is awarded for an answer. L3 annotation is not used. There is no need for a summary level at the end of a response. Summary: Level 1 (1 to 3 marks): 1 simple statement (1 mark) 2 simple statements (2 marks) 3 simple statements (3 marks) Level 2 (4 to 6 marks): 1 developed statement (4 marks) 2 developed statements (5 marks) 3 or more developed statements with e.g. (6 marks) Level 3 (7 marks) 3 or more developed statements + named example with at least one piece of place specific detail.
