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.

0460/13 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 2 of 17 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.

Exceptions are acceptable – up to 1 × L2. “One Child Policy” can be developed up to 2 × L2 – one for specified incentives and one for specified disincentives. Content Guide: Answers are most likely to refer to anti-natal policy and could include ideas such as: one child policy / limit number of babies / restrict number of children advertise the benefits of small families educate people about contraception legalise abortion make (free) contraceptives available examples of specific incentives (e.g. free education, free health care) introduce pensions for elderly examples of disincentives (e.g. if have a 2nd child e.g. fines, lose jobs reduce benefits for people having children e.g. reduced maternity leave / child benefit / child tax credits) forced sterilisation free goods e.g. radios in India educate women to encourage them to take jobs or careers marriage regulations e.g. late marriage / seek permission gender equality acts etc. (The reverse ideas would apply to pro-natal policies) Note: Development should refer to the policy itself not reasons or explanations for it. Place specific reference is likely to consist of: Named parts of the chosen country, Population data Reference to a specific named policy / specific details about it etc.
