Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Key Priorities and the Effects of Covid-19 on the Education System: Department of Education

Mr. Dalton Tattan:

I think what I was saying in the conversation we had on this day last week was that when we look across, there was overestimation in terms of what the level of results would be in comparison to other years. Dr. Hislop who was with me last week gave an example in the case of Agricultural Science, where the percentage of H1s would have been in the order of 13% or 14% if a standardisation approach had not been applied, compared to 2019, when it was in the order of about 4% to 4.5%. There are lots of incidences like that and they are published in that national standardisation group report, which is available on the Department's website.
