The traditional exam will go ahead this year.
The Government has agreed to hold the traditional Leaving Cert exams this year without a hybrid grading option.
Ministers have decided not to offer accredited grades again this year, in part due to one in four students having not done a Junior Cert.
Cabinet approved the plan this morning which will see the Leaving Cert run as normal, but with significant change.
Instead students will be offered more choice and fewer questions.
Full details of exam changes will be given to schools next week.
The Minister also confirmed the Junior Cert will run this year for the first time since 2019.
The Irish Second Level Students Union says the decision not to have a calculated grades option is a "failure".
Many sixth year students will be disappointed as this is not what they were hoping for.
A recent survey by the Irish Second Level Students Union showed two thirds wanted the hybrid model.
Norma Foley says the written exams will go ahead but with changes to give students more options:
President, Irish Second -Level Students Union, Emer Neville spoke on Tuesday's Kildare Focus, she told Ciara Noble that students are disappointed:
