Woman says she saw teacher correcting Leaving Cert paper on the DART
A woman has complained after allegedly spotting a teacher marking a Leaving Cert exam paper in public in a train station and on the DART.
The State Examinations Commission has confirmed that it is now investigating a report, first carried in the , of a possible breach of protocol for marking exam material.
The Commission said that examiners are given specific training that the material is highly confidential and should not be accessible to the public.
An woman, speaking to Newstalk radio, said she saw the teacher marking a Leaving Cert paper while they were waiting for a train Pearse Station in central Dublin.
She said that they got onto a DART and the teacher continued her work.
"It was quite busy because it was morning time, you know, rush hour," she said.
"So when we got on the train then, she sat down. There were a lot of people standing, so there were a lot of people looking over, and she started correcting the same paper again.
"I was totally shocked and the woman beside her [was shocked] as well - she was reading the [exam] paper the whole time we were both on the train."
