Vol. 427 No. 8
240 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education if she has studied the arrangements, if any, which exist for student appeals on examination results in third level colleges; the plans, if any, she has to introduce legislation to give students a statutory right to appeal their examination results; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
The arrangements for appeals on examination results in third level colleges are a matter for the college and the relevant validating authority.
In the context of an Education Act, a very large number of issues will need to be considered including the clearer articulation of the respective rights and responsibilities of all the parties, including students and what, if any, appropriate legislative provisions should be made.
