Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
1006. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Education if she will ensure that the accommodation put in place for the Leaving Certificate 2022 due to the impacts of Covid-19 are extended to Leaving Certificate 2023. [43898/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraOn Friday 2nd September I announced that adjustments will be made to the assessment arrangements for students due to sit State examinations in 2023, to take account of the disruption to their learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The level of adjustment will be the same as that announced in August 2021 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.
This provides clarity, certainty and reassurance to students, their parents/guardians, teachers and schools at the start of the 2022/2023 school year.
