State Examinations
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-31
============================================================

Neale Richmond (FG), Dublin Rathdown

The review provides the opportunity to do that.
The case made by the Senator to move away from the previous expert report and to look at a third level example, is a valid one. The difference between now and 20 years ago is light years when it comes to providing education for everyone in the State. This is particularly true of the advances for those with dyslexia and others in a similar position. I encourage full engagement with the review by the Senator but also by the stakeholders and bodies he mentioned. There is scope and opportunity to make the improvement that would be so important for those sitting State examinations, not on Wednesday week, of course, but perhaps in the next year or 18 months.
