Mr. Dalton Tattan:

On the students studying an additional subject or two outside of school, we made every effort that if we could at all, we would give them a calculated grade and there were a number of routes through which that could be done. Unfortunately, it was not possible in every situation. Usually the stumbling block was that the student in question may not have had a registered teacher involved in overseeing his or her education and therefore, there was no means of verifying the work he or she had done. We had some litigation around that too and we resolved some cases as a result of the litigation. I will pass to Ms Feeney to deal with the numbers and the appeals.
