Liam Fitzgerald
Question:172 Mr. L. Fitzgerald asked the Minister for Education if she will take the necessary steps to ensure that students can appeal marks awarded at State Examinations and can in future be represented by the relevant subject teacher at the appeal hearing; her view on whether the current system is lacking in transparency and is one of the few appeals systems where the appellant has no right to be represented; her views on whether the Price Waterhouse report failed to address this issue satisfactorily; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
