Hanafin says difficult maths paper will be marked fairly
14/06/2006 - 10:46:14Minister for Education Mary Hanafin is advising students to forget about the controversy surrounding Monday's higher-level Leaving Cert maths paper.
Some teachers have described the exam as a disgrace and the most difficult paper in 40 years.
Their union, the ASTI, has written to the Chief Examiner to express concern about the matter.
However, Ms Hanafin said today that she believed the paper would be marked fairly with the difficulty of the exam taken into account.
"The important thing for students is to leave that paper behind them and to concentrate on the ones that they have yet to do," she said.
