More than 1200 students in Clare are due to get their Leaving Certificate results later this morning.
They’re among almost 62 thousand students who sat the state exams this year, and for most it was their first experience of the process, as their Junior Cert’s were cancelled during the covid pandemic.
The results, which are available from 10 am this morning, have been adjusted so they’re broadly in line with 2022, after Education Minister Norma Foley instructed State exam bosses in July to ensure they were no lower on aggregate than last year.
The Minister for further Education, meanwhile, has called on students who may be disappointed later to access supports.
Minister Simon Harris says there are many pathways into a career that don’t necessarily include the CAO.
Meanwhile, the Irish Second-Level Students’ Union is wishing the best of luck to students getting their Leaving Cert results today.
It’s reminding them the National Parents and Students Leaving Cert Helpline on 1800 265 165 is a free and confidential service.
It’s open from 10am to 6pm today.
