If someone is a mathematics student and the terminology has been changed to make it wordier and if they go through the junior and leaving certificate examinations and are dyslexic and their ability to read the question is probably the biggest issue, they do not get extra time. I spoke about the project that was the runner up in the Young Scientist by a very capable young lady from Bandon who proved the difference between the UK model and the Irish model regarding how mathematics is worded. That is a huge issue for us. We have a system that is actively discriminating against dyslexic kids when it comes to mathematics.
