Leaving Cert: 6,500 students awarded lower grade due to code errors

The error affected the way in which candidates’ Junior Cycle results were included in the standardisation process.

The Department of Education and Skills found the second error while performing checks related to rectifying the first error. This error was contained in the same section of the code programmed by the Department’s external contractor Polymetrika. The source said every effort will be made to ensure students who secure a higher preference CAO course on foot of an upgrade will be able to take up a place in the current academic year.

The Taoiseach made the comments in response to Labour leader Alan Kelly who said the Department of Education has “gone to ground” over students who were appealing their calculated grades results. Sinn Féin education spokesman Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire asked it students whohad been downgraded would be upgraded.

The department “found a second error while performing checks related to rectifying the first error and the department were very anxious that they would get all the issues resolved and to understand fully what was involved here before going public on it to make sure that it can be comprehensive in its presentation to students and to all involved.”

The world doesn’t need millions of PhDs in women’s studies, feminism, Queer Theory, critical race theory. That and extreme left wing activism are the only thing that goes on in any university in the world. They have all been subverted by China.
