Written answers

The State Examinations Commission (SEC) has responsibility for the operation and delivery of the State examinations, and facilitates access to the examinations through its scheme of reasonable accommodations at the certificate examinations, otherwise known as the RACE scheme.

I have asked the SEC to respond directly to the Deputy with further detail about the avenues available to students and families who believe they have been denied appropriate accommodations and about the RACE appeals process.
