Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 487 and 488 together.

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.

In view of this, I have asked the SEC to respond directly to the Deputy.

Question No. 488 answered with Question No. 487.
