Ceisteanna (136)

Dan Boyle

Ceist:

137 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to the practice by the State Examination Board of new graduates, without teaching experience, correcting junior certificate papers; if this practice is sanctioned by her Department; and her views on whether such a practice may lead to a wide variation in marking standards.

On foot of a Government decision, I formally established the State Examinations Commission on 6 March 2003. The commission now has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations. Accordingly, I have passed your query to the chief executive officer of the commission for direct reply.
