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.

President, Irish Second -Level Students Union, Emer Neville spoke on Tuesday's Kildare Focus, she told Ciara Noble that students are disappointed:
