More than 2,000 students in Carlow and Kilkenny are among the 70,000 nationwide set to find out how they got on in the Leaving Certificate.
They’re available from 10am in person at schools or online (link to that here).
The State Examinations Commission has revealed top grades are down this year.
It’s in line with the Government’s commitment to gradually reduce the points inflation that resulted after students had to rely on predicted grades during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Just 10.1% of recipients have received a H1 result, with the number of O1’s also dropping, down to 2.7%.
For those who wish to seek supports – the Leaving Cert Helpline details are here and mental health charity Turn2Me is also available.
Meanwhile, those getting results are being reminded to mark the occasion responsibly, taking care of themselves and looking out for each other.
KCLR News will be visiting a local school and The KCLR Daily (10am-1pm) will also have advice and tips – if you’ve something to add please text/whatsapp straight to studio: 083 306 96 96.
