Court to hear appeal over finding homeschooled students had rights breached

Mayo student Elijah Burke.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a further appeal by the Minister for Education over findings the constitutional rights of two homeschooled students were breached by their exclusion from the 2020 Leaving Certificate calculated grades process.

In seeking the appeal, the Minister argued the Court of Appeal had made findings with significant potential effects for policymaking and the freedom to make and implement education policy.
