A final decision on the precise format of this year’s assessment process is expected shortly

Sinn Féin spokesperson on Education Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire called on the Government to make a commitment that historical school data will not be used in the standardisation process for Leaving Cert 2022.

He pointed out that more often than not these were DEIS schools or schools in areas with high levels of disadvantage. Both TDs were responding to a story in today’s Irish Times which stated that senior Department of Education officials had briefed the Taoiseach on the possibility of schools’ historical data being used in developing a model of accredited grades for this year.

These are students who did not do a Transition Year, moving instead directly from Third Year to Fifth Year, either by choice or because their school does not offer a TY programme.
