US non-profit set to design new Leaving Cert accredited grades process

US non-profit Education Testing Services has been awarded the contract to design this year’s accredited grades process for Leaving Certificate students.

Legislation is currently being prepared to allow the SEC to conduct the Leaving Cert examinations and accredited grades process., ETS is being brought in to design the accredited grades model, bringing its skills in both external and statistical coding, and psychometric expertise, the Department said.

“As this process is one of sensitivity and urgency, the tender documents are not being published,” the spokesman added.Last year, about 14,000 grades were incorrectly issued due to errors in the standardisation process used to adjust teachers’ estimated grades for consistency and fairness.
