Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 February 2025
356. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Education the number of schools which charge fees for conducting mock exams; the extent to which this is common practice and the range of fees charged; if she will review this added expense for parents; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5979/25]
View answerThe information requested is not collected by my Department. Neither my Department nor the State Examinations Commission (SEC) has any role in relation to the setting, running, or marking of mock examinations. Decisions to hold mock examinations are taken by individual schools. The format of these examinations varies from school to school and not all schools run mock examinations.
