Using school profiling as part of this year's Leaving Cert grading would be 'completely unfair' on students, Labour's AodhanORiordain says.

, Deputy Ó Ríordáin - who is calling for a hybrid Leaving Cert in 2022 - said school profiling is still not an acceptable approach.

“It’s completely unfair for an individual student who may be studying in a school of disadvantage or a school with limited subject choice. He said a decision is now needed, as students have lost significant amounts of class time over the last two years and teacher absences due to COVID continue to disrupt learning.

"Because they didn’t sit the junior cert - through absolutely no fault of their own - they would be disadvantaged.”
