State Examinations Issues
246. Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will confirm that all students, who are deemed in need of a reader for the junior and leaving certificate by an educational psychologist, will have one assigned to them in 2013 and 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations. The State Examinations Commission operates a scheme of Reasonable Accommodations in the Certificate examinations. Applications for such accommodations are submitted by schools on behalf of their students. Full details of the scheme is available for downloading from their website: www.examinations.ie/candidates/reasonableaccommodations. In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.
