Sen. Richard Gordon on Thursday said the government should allocate funds for the mandatory retake of the June 2006 Nursing Licensure Examination that was marred by a leakage.
He said board takers from nursing schools and review centers who benefited from the leakage should retake the exam.
President Arroyo on Wednesday ordered Labor Secretary Arturo Brion to meet with Professional Regulation Commission officials and supervise the retake.
Brion and the commission officials will decide whether to conduct a full or partial retake of the board examination. They will also determine if only the examinees who got the leaked questions from Tests 3 and 5 should retake the examinations.
The idea of the retake was suggested to the President at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said the President ordered the retake to protect the integrity of the nursing profession and the conduct of licensure examinations in the country.
