Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

State Examinations: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Lewis Purser:

We have highlighted in our submission a number of enabling measures, critically around staff development. Continuous assessment, per se, will not be a panacea or a one-size-fits-all solution. Much appropriate training and development will be needed but there are very good models in further and higher education about how this can be managed over time very successfully, with good external quality assurance and monitoring mechanisms. We would be delighted to engage with the committee further in these matters.
