1066. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she plans to amend the State Examinations Commission's reasonable accommodations at the certificate examinations scheme to broaden the criteria for accessing a reader and to allow readers to explain the meanings of words, phrases and sentences to students who struggle with reading comprehension due to dyslexia; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations. The Commission in this regard operates a scheme of Reasonable Accommodations in the Certificate Examinations.

In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.
