Has any work been done in regard to aligning the assignment and releasing the results with the A-levels in the North through our work on the increasing cross-Border enrolment in further and higher education? We have repeatedly come across challenges in relation to the examinations, the grades and the timing of results. These have been substantial barriers and they have come across time and time again in increasing access to educational opportunity on an all-island basis. Is this something the SEC has looked at throughout its work? How does it view the challenges in this area in respect of how we can tie things up a bit better there?
