We will have to agree to disagree as to clarity. I am very clear the sanction is outlined in the Bill. Where such cases are found to have arisen, the penalty is the withholding of the grade. I will again be clear. There is no requirement for this to happen. There will be a review. Again, the provision says "may" rather than "must". It enables the State Examinations Commission, SEC, to carry out a review rather than requiring it to do so. The section allows for a full review to take place and an adjudication to be made. If it is adjudicated that a person provided false or misleading information, the penalty will be the withholding of the accredited grade.
