Deputy Michael Collins asked the Minister for Education and Youth if she will review the decision to provide only an additional ten minutes per exam, rather than per hour, for Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate students with dyslexia (details supplied); the rationale for this limited allocation of additional time given that higher education institutions in Ireland typically provide ten minutes per hour, and that the UK standard is 25% extra time; if she will further consider increasing the permitted additional time in State examinations to ensure students with dyslexia are not placed at a disadvantage; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
