68 per cent of Leaving Cert students want a hybrid exam this year.
A survey of nearly 19,000 students, by the Irish Second Level Students’ Union, shows students are concerned about missing classes, and the effect the current situation is having on their mental health.
This year’s Leaving Cert is due to return to the old model in place before the pandemic.
A hybrid format would involve students offered accredited grades or the option of sitting an exam.
