Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 September 2020
574. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Education if the ranking system which teachers needed to provide for leaving certificate students for the predictive grade system will be made public; if this is in line or contradictory with communication to schools and teachers in April 2020; and if subsequent communication was made to schools on this issue.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Calculated Grades Student Portal will reopen on 14 September at 9.00 am and will provide students with the percentage marks they were awarded by the Calculated Grades process. They will also be able to access the estimated percentage marks provided by their schools. Students may wish to have access to and consider this data if they are considering an appeal of their Calculated Grade.
An issue has arisen regarding the provision to students on 14 September of their class rank order in subjects, provided by their school as part of the Calculated Grades process. The issue relates to the General Data Protection Regulation and the personal data of students. The Department is seeking legal advice on this matter.
