Ceisteanna (180)

Christopher O'Sullivan

Ceist:

180. Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Youth if her Department plans to review the policy around students who experience a family bereavement during the Leaving Certificate as the current policy only allows for a three day deferral; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Youth

The State Examinations Commission (SEC) has responsibility for the delivery of the State examinations, including the Scheme of Deferred Examinations which is provided within the policy context of the Scheme of Reasonable Accommodations at the Certificate Examinations (RACE Scheme).

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