The correspondence indicated that the SEC is responsible for the operation, delivery and development of State examinations and for the scheme of reasonable accommodations at certificate examinations, RACE. It stated that set out in an attached appendix was detailed information by the SEC about the extensive range of supports available for students with special educational needs who are accessing the State certificate examinations, which may be of assistance in understanding the scope and scale of the RACE scheme. Information about how additional time applies in the examinations, about supports provided in lieu of additional time and about the review of the current RACE scheme was also provided.

There are 4 pages of background information. Will we go through it or will we forward it to the Senator?
