YESTERDAY, THE GOVERNMENT signaled its hopes that a decision on this year’s Leaving Certificate exams could be made next week.

Among the options for the Leaving Cert include holding the exams in the traditional manner or repeating last year’s calculated grades system. A hybrid model of the two has also been suggested.
