ASTI President Eamon Dennehy has praised all of this year’s Leaving and Junior Cert students who begin their exams today:
“You have demonstrated tremendous resilience over the past two years, overcoming significant disruption and uncertainty.”
“You have weathered the storm and can look forward to moving to the next stage of your lives. Now is the time to look after yourself. Keep a simple routine, eat well, get exercise, build in relaxation, and take time each day to organise yourself for the day ahead.”
The ASTI President said this year’s State exam students will benefit from a trusted, independent exams process:
"Students can be assured of fairness, equity and transparency – all issues which were brought to the fore during the pandemic. A critically important change to this year’s Leaving Cert arrangements is the introduction of measures to ensure that aggregate results are no lower than last year. This will provide a level playing field for the class of 2022."
