140. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the way in which students that are taking part in a post-leaving certificate course and have yet to complete their practical exams due to Covid-19 restrictions are to be graded if their teachers have received no instruction from his Department to carry out predictive grading; and if his attention has been drawn to the fact that these students are fearful this lack of clarity will hinder them trying to secure a place in third-level.

Further Education and Training providers have made proposals for the undertaking of practical assessment activity in the near future. These proposals are being considered by my Department and SOLAS, with appropriate public health advice.Providers will communicate arrangements to any learners affected as soon as possible.
