Junior Cycle Examination Results 2022: State Examinations Commission
Ms Andrea Feeney:
I mentioned that it happens in other jurisdictions. These things need to be looked at in the longer term. We have had a very proud tradition in this country of not having it as part of the teaching contract. It was something teachers always did on a discretionary basis, in addition to their teaching work. In the longer term, it is perhaps something that could be looked at. It is not something the SEC has any power over in terms of the teaching contract. We must focus on the steps and measures that we take in order to effect the change that is needed in collaboration with the stakeholders.
