Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Junior Cycle Examination Results 2022: State Examinations Commission
Ms Andrea Feeney:
With respect, there is a bigger system issue that needs to looked at in terms of solving the problem. It is not a problem that I or my colleagues can actually solve. As the State Examinations Commission, we need the assistance and the co-operation of all of the stakeholders acting in concert to encourage teachers to undertake this work. It is very strong to have the increased rates we have, but the numbers are not there. There is a whole-of-system issue. It is not a simple operational or logistical challenge that the SEC can solve, unfortunately.
