The Department of Education is working with the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science to liaise with other countries about this year’s Leaving Certificate, to ensure that flexibility be extended to the 2021 Leaving Certificate candidates.
It is important that candidates who have applied for places in universities and colleges outside of Ireland should engage with these institutions as early as possible to notify them of the results date and to confirm their position.
