Deputy Joe O'Brien asked the Minister for Education the timeline for the publication of the terms of reference of the recently announced independent review of the leaving certificate calculated grades process; the timeline for the commencement of the review; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerOn 3 October I announced that I had asked that a comprehensive independent review of the design and implementation of the Calculated Grades process should take place when the process is complete.
I want the independent comprehensive review to consider key aspects of the Calculated Grades process. This will include: the initial decision to adopt the calculated grades model; whether the process met its objectives; how effective the process was; how that process worked in terms of design and implementation; and how effective were the governance and oversight procedures. Very importantly, I also want the review to include what lessons can be learned for the future.
Some initial scoping of the review has taken place to date and the full scope of the review will be clearly set out in advance.
