Speaking on the 2023 Leaving Certificate results, the Chairperson of the State Examinations Commission, Pat Burke offered his congratulations to all of the candidates receiving their results.
“I, and my fellow commissioners, would like to offer our sincere congratulations to candidates receiving their Leaving Certificate results today, which is a notable milestone for these young people.
"Since the beginning of the pandemic, the commissioners and I have endeavoured to ensure that candidates taking the Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied examinations are treated as fairly and equitably as possible having regard to the adverse impact of Covid-19.
"We welcomed the clarity provided to the education system in September 2022 through the early notification of the level of adjustment to the assessment arrangements this year.
"In response, we have delivered adjusted examinations and assessments which take account of the disruption to learning for this year’s cohort.
"We have again applied a post-marking adjustment to the examination results in order to give effect to the Minister of Education's commitment that there would be no ‘cliff edge’ return to pre-pandemic aggregate grade profiles and the subsequent decision that this should mean that the overall set of results for 2023 should on the aggregate be no lower than 2022.
"Through this measure it is intended that the Leaving Certificate class of 2023 will not be disadvantaged when competing with the class of 2022 or previous years for opportunities in further or higher education or employment.
Of the 61,736 candidates receiving results this year, 58,006 candidates followed the Leaving Certificate (Established) programme in 409,643 individual subjects, of which 12,848 (20.8%) candidates followed the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP).
A further 3,730 (6%) candidates followed the Leaving Certificate Applied Programme.
The results being provided to candidates today are the product of adjusted examinations and a post-marking adjustment.
