Leaving Cert Results: Consider all the options after receiving results

Students have been advised to consider all their options as they reflect on their Leaving Certificate results today.

The 57,929 people getting their grades from the State Examinations Commission at over 730 schools and other education centres include 55,045 who followed the established Leaving Certificate programme, with nearly 3,000 taking the Leaving Certificate Applied option.

With most now waiting for college places but others considering other paths into training or work, Education Minister Jan O’Sullivan said there was an increasing variety of high-quality, career-focused routes for students who complete the Leaving Certificate.
