Candidates with Covid may access deferred sitting, while those with a runny nose advised to attend
Pupils will sit exams across more than 800 schools and other venues, as well as 9,000 special exam centres – typically smaller classrooms – for students with additional needs.The delivery of the State exams is a huge logistical exercise involving the secure distribution of 8,000-strong boxes containing 4 million exam papers to superintendents responsible for supervising the written examinations.
It says those who only have nasal symptoms, such as a runny nose or a sneeze, but otherwise feel well, should attend for their exams. The SEC said additional time was needed to fulfil a pledge by Ms Foley that, after a number of years of inflated grades during the Covid-era, there will be no “cliff edge” or automatic return to pre-pandemic grade profiles for Leaving Cert results this year.
