385. Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason an application to have a reader for the leaving certificate was denied in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Longford even though the person had been granted a reader for the junior certificate. [13903/14]
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 are 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.
