The Programme for Government commits to developing an appropriate mechanism to allow additional time for students with specific needs and in certain circumstances and also ensure that those who use assistive technology can do so in State examinations. My Department will engage with the State Examinations Commission regarding this commitment as part of the implementation of the Programme for Government.
