Welsh Joint Education Committee

HC Deb 05 February 1996 vol 271 c57W

Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what accreditation role he has with respect to the setting of standards by, and response to, requests for(a) remarkings and (b) independent review of the Welsh Joint Education Committee. [13740]

Mr. Hague

Requests for remarking are matters for consideration by individual examination boards. Individual appeals relating to GCSE, A and AS-level examinations can, with the support of the examination centre concerned, be made to the Independent Appeals Authority for School Examinations. These arrangements apply to the Welsh Joint Education Committee, as they do to other GCSE, A and AS-level examination boards.
