Class of 22 was first cohort in three years to sit full set of examinations following pandemic measures
The wait ends today for over 60,000 former secondary school students as they take delivery of the 2022 Leaving Certificate results.
The deferral of examinations to July for students unable to sit examinations in June due to illness or bereavement was one reason for the delay. An increase in the number of candidates was another factor, and there was also an increased demand for examiners which proved a challenge to meet again this year.
However, the move away from the traditional format saw average grades increase across the board over the last two years, resulting in some students being pushed out of contention for college courses they would have normally qualified for.The hybrid model was dispensed with for this year and the Class of 22 became the first cohort in three years to sit a full set of Leaving Certificate examinations.
Whether these measures will be enough to ensure the Class of 2022 is not disadvantaged when it comes to securing college places remains to be seen but it is likely that next year’s class will require similar measures to ensure they do not suffer the consequences either.For those who receive their results today, the focus will quickly shift to next week and the first round of CAO offers which are due to be released next Thursday at 2pm.
Third-level institutions have had to defer their enrolment process for first-year students by up to three weeks as a result of the late Leaving Cert results.
