Leaving Cert students worst hit by school closures, according to the CSO

The CSO said Leaving Certificate students were most negatively affected by school closures.

Students sitting their Leaving Cert in 2021 were the most negatively impacted by school closures, while many parents say their child is worried about the return to school. 

New figures published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) on the social impact of enforced school closures back in March show that the interruption affected children’s learning and social development.
