    So the exams are cancelled in Scotland, Wales, and now England - will they cancel the Leaving Cert here I wonder?

    Unlikely, only if the department were to offer a convincing alternative other than predicted grades. I think the leaving cert will go ahead and the department will put out all the stops to make this happen.
    Besides it's early days. Absolutely nonsensical to cancel an exam with 6 months to go.

    So Northern Ireland have cancelled exams for next summer. That's England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all after cancelling exams. Can we really expect the Leaving Cert to go ahead, despite what the Government are saying?

    Message from our Managing Director, Senan Kelly


    It is with deep regret that DEB Exams is suspending all products and services to schools for the remainder of the 2020/2021 academic year.

    We have taken the difficult decision to pause all operations with immediate effect to fully comply with the latest government announcements regarding Covid-19 and tighter Level 5 restrictions.

    We would like to sincerely apologise to you, your colleagues, your students and their families for this grave decision and the consequences that it may initiate, but it is beyond our control.

    From the DEB website. Have my doubts about Examcraft being able to manage remote mocks as the sole mock provider in the country. Curious to hear what other schools are doing.
