Students are set to take to the streets over this year's Leaving Cert arrangements
Photo by The Higher Education Minister says students should get clarity on this year's Leaving Cert in the coming days.
A meeting of stakeholders will take place tomorrow which will consider if the hybrid model is an option.
A detailed consultation between the Department of Education and representatives bodies is expected, with a decision on the format of the exams expected by the end of the week.
It comes as sixth year students will be holding a number of protests today, calling for a hybrid Leaving Cert to take place this summer.
The Second Level Students Union want to see sixth years given the choice between predicted grades and written exams while teaching unions are calling for a return of the traditional Leaving Cert format.
?ISSU survey shows that 2/3 of exam students are calling for a hybrid model for state examinations in 2022?
