Leaving Cert exams cannot be 'another yo-yo' of uncertainty

Universities Association has called for the introduction of an agreed and stable grade distribution model ahead of the 2022 State exams.

The Irish Universities Association (IUA) has called for the introduction of an agreed and stable grade distribution model ahead of the 2022 State exams. Failure to do so runs the risk of disadvantaging students, according to Jim Miley, president of the IUA.
