Examiners say siginificant numbers of students marked down ‘through no fault of their own’

says quality issues relating to this year’s Leaving Cert oral exams will be addressed in the marking process to the “greatest degree possible”.

There was no training provided for teachers to conduct these interviews and teachers say detailed instructions were issued just three days before the oral exams began. “In line with the SEC’s quality assurance arrangements, the SEC continues to monitor the marking process and, as part of this, will give its consideration to any actions that may be required,” she said.

If you wanted to have a go at teachers, this could have waited a week or so, but if you wanted to unnerve students sitting exams this week 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 , your timing is completely spot on 🤬🤬🤬 Blame game is starting early.
