Minister for Education and Youth

I propose to take Questions Nos. 386 and 387 together.

The State Examination Commission (the SEC) has statutory responsibility for the administration of the State certificate examinations. This includes setting out the requirements for the authentication of coursework components, in line with overall examinations and assessment policy.

In view of this, I have asked the SEC to respond directly to you with the information you have requested.

Question No. 387 answered with Question No. 386.
