Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 March 2012
99 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding an appeal of a student (details supplied) in County Cork for a scribe to be provided for their leaving certificate examinations. [17422/12]
View answerThe State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations including organising the holding of examinations and determining procedures in places where examinations are conducted including the supervision of examinations. I can inform the Deputy that the Commission operates a scheme of Reasonable Accommodations in the Certificate examinations. Applications for such accommodations are submitted by schools on behalf of their students. In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.
