Question:

489. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Education if she will change the criteria that reasonable accommodations of certificate examinations apply for the appointment of readers for leaving Certificate examination students to allow readers to include language modifiers for Leaving certificate candidates whose disability has a very substantial and long-term effect resulting in very persistent and significant difficulties in accessing and processing information and whose role would be to clarify the carrier language in the examination paper when requested to do so by the examination candidate and who would be prohibited from explaining technical terms or subject-specific terms; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the state examinations.

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