The results of the Leaving Certificate will be published on Friday 25 August.

Dé hAoine 25 Lúnasa a fhoilseofar torthaí na hArdteistiméireachta.

Education Minister Norma Foley announced today that the results of the Leaving Certificate will be published on Friday 25 August.

D'fhógair an tAire Oideachais Norma Foley inniu gur Dé hAoine 25 Lúnasa a fhoilseofar torthaí na hArdteistiméireachta.

The Minister said that it is a significant situation that the results are available so early this year compared to the years of the pandemic when their publication was delayed.

Dúirt an tAire gur cor suntasach é na torthaí a bheith ar fáil chomh luath sin i mbliana le hais bhlianta na paindéime nuair a cuireadh moill ar a bhfoilsiú.

It is said that the lack of teachers to mark the exams was the main reason for the delay.

Deirtear gur easpa múinteoirí leis na scrúduithe a mharcáil ba phríomhchúis leis an moill.

Despite the pandemic being over, it will be taken into account when marking the papers that the teaching of the students who are taking the Advanced Certificate this year was interrupted when they were in the fifth year.

Ainneoin an phaindéim a bheith thart, cuirfear san áireamh agus na páipéir á marcáil gur cuireadh isteach ar theagasc na scoláirí atá ag déanamh na hArdteiste i mbliana nuair a bhí siad sa chúigiú bliain.

The aim of this measure is that there will be no imbalance in terms of points between them and students who have taken the exams in other years and who are looking for places in third level colleges this year.

Is é is aidhm leis an mbeart seo nach mbeidh éagothroime ó thaobh pointí de idir iad agus scoláirí a rinne na scrúduithe blianta eile agus atá ag tóraíocht áiteanna i gcoláistí tríú leibhéal i mbliana.

It was also announced today that students who are not feeling well will be allowed to take the exams after everyone else has taken them.

Fógraíodh inniu chomh maith go mbeidh cead ag scoláirí nach bhfuil dóigh mhaith orthu na scrúduithe a dhéanamh tar éis do gach duine eile iad a dhéanamh.

Students who are seriously ill or who have had a family member die are concerned.

Scoláirí atá go dona tinn nó ar bhásaigh duine muinteartha leo atá i gceist.
