Education Minister Norma Foley has reiterated her assurances that the Leaving Cert calculated grades process will treat students “fairly and equitably” following controversy over the standardisation model used on the A-Levels.

Ms Foley made her statement after England, Wales, and the North scrapped the algorithm applied to teacher estimations, which were used instead of final exams that were cancelled due to the pandemic.
