The Leaving Certificate class of 2021 will have the option of choosing SEC Accredited Grades, sitting an amended Leaving Certificate or both. The exams will begin 9th June 2021.
The Junior Certificate exams have been cancelled for this year.
This week 60,000 Leaving Certificate students returned to their classrooms for the first time since December 2020
Minister for Education Norma Foley TD recently confirmed that Leaving Certificate 2021 examinations will proceed and students will also have the alternative option of applying for grades accredited by the State Examinations Commission (SEC), to be known as SEC-Accredited Grades.
This decision follows intensive engagement with education stakeholders bilaterally and through the Planning for State Examinations 2021 Advisory Group and sub-group.
This decision ensures for every student a method to assess their learning and attainment at the end of their post-primary education and to progress to higher and further education, and the world of work.
