Amharc ar fhreagraIn May 2023, I 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 arrangements were communicated to schools on 18 September, and can be found at the following link: assets.gov.ie/270733/9d77a9be-41ac-4494-887d-b1963c81cd0a.pdf/.
A decision has not yet been made in relation to assessment adjustments for the 2025 examinations. Detail on the adjusted assessment arrangements for the Leaving Certificate 2025 will be issued to schools when a decision has been made, and schools will be asked to ensure that all students are made aware of these changes.
