The Department of Education told the committee that it was carrying out 'reflections' on the hybrid exam model, which was used last year.

Discussions are still underway about a similar model being put in place this year.

However Assistant Secretary of the Department, Dalton Tattan, says teachers should be given appropriate training if they go down a similar path in the future:
