Jonathan O'Brien

Question:

158. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she is aware of a leaving certificate 2015 student (details supplied) who was allocated a special centre and a shared reader, but who failed her leaving certificate honours English paper; that on the student's paper being reviewed the student was deemed to have passed and was then brought down by a supervisor which resulted in her failing; and how the difference in the checking and marking of examination papers can occur when, for example, one question on Paper 2 which was 12 marks was brought down to seven marks.

The 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. In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.
