Leaving Certificate 2020 Calculated Grades: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-01
============================================================

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

To clarify, if a student received a higher grade than was their due, that student retains that grade. We have been very clear that no student will be downgraded. Equally, it is an established practice that where a student is awarded a higher grade as a consequence of an error through no fault of their own, and this would have happened in previous years, they retain that grade. That would be the position now and I think that is only fair.
