Leaving Certificate 2020 Calculated Grades: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-01
============================================================

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

There was oversight of the process from the very beginning. That included oversight by the national standardisation group and the independent steering committee, which was important and which was chaired by Dr. Áine Lawlor, formerly of the Teaching Council. Equally, an international external review was conducted by Dr. Janet Brown, formerly of the Scottish Qualifications Authority. There was a further external review here by the Education Research Centre. There was validation and there were checks and balances. A number of layers were put in place. As I said previously, all the information and data concerning each of these groups have been made available and are available online. The reports they have produced and opinions they have offered are also available.
