To the Management Authorities of Post-primary Schools and other Entities recognised by the SEC to hold examinations: We have posted on our website updated versions (English and Irish) of the document “Further adjustments to the written examinations – Leaving Certificate, 2022”. In the English version, the only substantive change is that the amended copy clarifies the nature of the choice involved in the “written production” section of Ordinary level French. There are also some adjustments to the formatting of the instructions that will appear on the examination papers in some subjects, to bring the formatting in this document into closer alignment with the formatting that will be used on the examination papers themselves. In the Irish version, in addition to the above change, a number of issues that had arisen in the translation process across a range of subjects have been addressed in the amended version. Details of the substantive changes to the English and Irish versions are set out on page 5 of each document. Please see for your attention some important information from the State Examinations Commission in relation to Online Marking, Examination Paper Design and Stationery Design 2022 which is available www.examinations.ie/misc-doc/EN-EX-2696639.pdf. Queries related to this circular should be directed by email to onlinemark@examinations.ie or by phone to 090 6442768. State Examinations Commission February 2022
Updated Covid-19 Guidance to Schools following the mid-term break 2022

As you may have heard, the DE has issued an update following new public health advice with effect from 28th February. Updated Covid-19 Guidance to Schools following the mid-term break 2022 On 21st of January 2022, the Government announced the easing of a number of public health measures. The infection prevention control measures and restrictions in school settings were to remain in place until 28th February 2022, so that all children of school going age would have the opportunity to avail of the Covid-19 vaccines. On 17th February 2022, NPHET reviewed the remaining public health measures including the infection prevention control measures and restrictions in school settings. Having closely considered relevant epidemiological data and other matters as set out in their letter of 17 February 2022, the Government has accepted the recommendations of the NPHET to remove remaining restrictions relating to mask-wearing and physical distancing in schools. If members of staff or students wish to continue wearing face masks or coverings, they may do so. Continued use of good infection prevention and control measures such as hand washing, respiratory hygiene, and ventilation is advised. Critical components of the collective response in relation to COVID-19 continue to apply including self-isolation if symptomatic (even if fully vaccinated/boosted) or if having a positive COVID-19 test. Staying at home if you have symptoms The requirement to stay at home if you have symptoms remains – for students and staff alike. One of the key messages to manage the risks of COVID-19 is to do everything practical to avoid the introduction of COVID-19 into the school. If infection is not introduced it cannot be spread. Hand Hygiene Schools should continue to promote good hygiene. Hand hygiene can be achieved by hand washing or use of a hand sanitiser (when hands look clean). Face coverings/mask wearing It is no longer a requirement for staff or pupils/students to wear a face covering/mask in school. Staff and student/pupils can continue to wear a face covering/mask if they wish to do so on a personal basis. School transport and Face coverings/mask wearing With effect from Monday 28 February the wearing of face coverings/masks on school transport will no longer be mandatory but will continue to be advised. All other measures relating to hygiene (including the provision of hand sanitiser and additional cleaning of services) and pre-assigned seating will remain in place subject to further review. Visitors to schools There is no longer a requirement to restrict visitors to schools and schools should revert to the normal arrangements for visitors.

LEAVING CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION 2022 CONFIRMATION OF ENTRIES - IMPORTANT
Created : 03 Feb 2022, 4:56 PM
Archived : 03 Apr 2022, 12:00 AM
In 2021, the State Examinations Commission (SEC), as part of its digital strategy, introduced the Candidate Self Service Portal (CSSP) as a one-stop-shop for a range on online services for Leaving Certificate candidates. The CSSP will be used again for the 2022 Leaving Certificate so that candidates can confirm their examination entry details and access other services such as results and appeals. The portal will open at 12 noon on Thursday 3 February for candidates to confirm their subject entries and levels. It will remain open for this purpose until 12 noon on Friday 11 February. During this time Leaving Certificate candidates will be required to register and create their portal account, confirm their subject and level entry details, and add or delete subjects from the records presented to them. Leaving Certificate Applied Year 2 candidates will be required to register and create their account only. The portal will be pre-populated with the data entered by schools through the PPOD October returns process. This means that only those subjects which candidates have been studying in schools will be displayed on the portal. When the portal opens candidates will have the opportunity to add any subjects that they are studying outside of school or to delete subjects if they are no longer intending to present for examinations in particular subjects. Candidates will not be able to add additional subjects after the portal closes on 11 February. When the candidate entry confirmation process has concluded on the CSSP, the SEC will provide schools with a report of the entries for the candidates in the school for review and conformation Selection of levels It is extremely important at this stage that schools engage with candidates regarding their selection of their level in each subject at this time. Candidates should be advised by their teachers to select the level at which they are currently studying each subject. The SEC will use this information for planning purposes. We will also provide this information to schools through a turnaround document for review. Candidates will be asked to confirm their levels later on and will be permitted to change their levels in the written examinations on the day of the examination, as in previous years. Access to the Portal Leaving Certificate candidates will access the portal at www.examinations.ie from today Thursday 3 February at 12 noon. A CSSP Before You Start Guide 2022 will be provided which candidates should read before commencing the process. To access the portal, candidates will need the following: * their examination number (The SEC provided these to schools before Christmas) - if for any reason a student has not received their exam number or misplaced it, it is available from Ms Harney * Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN will be the first 4 digits of the candidate’s Personal Public Services Number (PPS number) * an email address and mobile phone number to which the candidate will have regular access to over the coming months. Examination Fees 2022 The Minister for Education has decided that there will be no fees levied for the 2022 examinations; Leaving Certificate, Leaving Certificate Applied or Junior Cycle. Schools are asked to ensure that candidates, parents and guardians are advised that the fees for the 2022 examinations are being waived.
