103 Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to discrepancies between results from tests carried out in schools on students by the National Educational Psychological Service psychologists and results from tests carried out by other psychologists as part of a full educational assessment on students, with the discrepancies arising from use of the WRAT and WIAT2 tests, both of which are recognised by his Department; the way he plans to deal with this discrepancy, which is resulting in some students being discriminated against as the results they have measured from the full tests are being ignored, even though they are based on the test which is required for entry into third level under DARE.
