Applications for the 2021/22 academic year closed in February, with an option to make changes to open between May and July. “I don’t want to be flippant about it, the Leaving Cert is long and tested and there are good points, but we should be willing to open our minds to actually have a discussion about how we can do better by students,” he said.
Students had a six-day window to indicate their preference on the SEC candidate portal, which closed on Tuesday. “What I’m saying to the Leaving Cert students this year is I’m trying to maintain those ratios, so I’m making sure you have as much of a chance as you would have in any other year.”
