Irish Examiner view: Exam delay

Junior Cert results

Education Minister Norma Foley has promised a review of the examination system to ensure similar hold-ups will not occur in the future.

There is finally light at the end of the tunnel for almost 69,000 Junior Certificate students and their families, with the results finally available on November 23.

Those examinations finished on June 20, and the results are usually issued in September. There has been considerable unhappiness among students with the lengthy delay.
