Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2022
417. Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire asked the Minister for Education if she will report on her discussions regarding the introduction of mitigation measures for the Leaving Certificate examinations in 2023, for example to provide a greater choice on the written papers. [27922/22]
View answerThe decisions made, and which I announced in February, regarding the assessment arrangements and overall grade outcomes for Leaving Certificate 2022 reflect the disruption to their learning that has been experienced by this year’s Leaving Certificate students over the past two years, including periods of school closures whilst those students were in the Senior Cycle, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Detailed planning for the 2023 examinations starts immediately following the 2022 examinations. At present no changes to the 2023 assessment arrangements for the State Examinations have been made, and this will be kept under review.
