Examinations Commission clears 26 students of cheating

THE State Examinations Commission (SEC) has cleared 26 students of cheating in their Leaving Certificate since results were issued nine days ago.

They were among 102 students for whom a grade in one of their subjects was not released with the rest of their results, as the commission awaited further communication either with them or their school.

Those cleared had satisfied the SEC there was no breach of the rules. They have now been furnished with the results.
