Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 April 2021
560. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Education the number of children in County Longford who failed to complete the leaving certificate cycle in each of the years 2016 to 2020 and to date in 2021, in tabular form. [21520/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe data is not yet available for Junior Certificate or Leaving Certificate sits in 2020. The data for Leaving Certificate sits comes from the retention report where the entry cohort of 2013-14 is likely to sit the Leaving Certificate in 2019, but also in 2018. This entry cohort is adjusted for recorded emigration, deceased students and students who repeat based on six years of academic year data.
Junior Certificate sit data from the 2014 entry cohort onwards is adjusted but only based on three years of data, this will further change when offically reported in future retention reports.
