The news is now confirmed. The Leaving Cert has been postponed and students will be able to avail of a ‘calculated grade’ based on "the combination
of school information about a student’s expected performance in an examination and national data available in relation to the performance of students in examinations over a period of time."

While, this process has been described by the government as "A professional judgement of each student’s attainment which will be subjected to a rigorous in-school alignment process to ensure fairness," and will require the school principal to approve the estimated scores and ranking of each student, we think that comedian Stevie Cahill's approach might be funnier.

Students will also have the option to appeal results and to sit the Leaving Cert exam at a later date. The full details of how the system will work are detailed on the Education.ie website here.
