Written answers

Minister for Education and Youth

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.
