Education (Leaving Certificate 2021) (Accredited Grades) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-05-11
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I move amendment No. 4:
In page 6, to delete lines 10 to 12.
I will be brief because of the time. We want to remove this provision in the Bill, which narrows the grounds on which an appeal can be made. As matters stand, an appeal can only consider the technicalities of how estimated marks are transferred from the school to the State Examinations Commission, SEC. Since the system is relatively new, appeals should have a far wider scope.
