Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 September 2023
347. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Education if a circular will issue with respect to adjustments to the 2024 leaving certificate examinations; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40291/23]
View answerIn May this year, Minister Foley announced that adjustments will be made to the assessment arrangements for students due to sit State examinations in 2024. These are the same as the assessment adjustments that applied for students sitting the 2023 examinations, and the August 2021 adjustments, but updated as relevant.
These adjustments will play to student strengths by leaving intact the familiar overall structure of the examinations, while incorporating additional choice for students in the examinations. In some cases, the adjustment measures will provide more time for tuition by, for example, reducing preparatory work for practical examinations.
These arrangements were communicated to schools on 18 September, and can be found at the following link:
