Leaving Cert students to be offered both written exams and 'corresponding measure' 

Following crisis talks with Norma Foley, the Minister for Education, on Friday, the ASTI said the minister was "unequivocal" in her commitment to holding the Leaving Cert this year.

Both written exams and a "corresponding measure" are to be offered to students sitting the Leaving Cert this year.

However, the exact details of this arrangement have yet to be worked out as confidential discussions between second-level teachers' unions and the Department of Education continue.
