Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 February 2004
88 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding his consideration of the report of the working group on the Irish language examination that teachers trained outside Ireland are required to pass to continue teaching; if it is intended to publish the report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5255/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI established a working group to review all aspects of the syllabus and examination for the Scrúdú le hAghaidh Cáilíochta sa Ghaeilge in 2001. The report of the working group was recently submitted to me and I intend to publish it shortly. The report deals, inter alia, with the content and format of the examination modules, the standard of the examinations and the period of provisional recognition granted to applicants within which they are expected to pass the SCG. The report is under consideration and decisions on the recommendations contained in it will be taken in due course.
