Feedback: Department Release Calculated Grading Guidelines
The Department of Education & Skills has released a Guide for Schools on implementing the Calculated Grading model for the 2020 State Examinations .
The document outlines procedures for the awarding of grades for the Leaving Certificate Class of 2020. The document can be found here:

The ISSU encourages students to read the above document, and to share any feedback, queries or concerns that they may have by emailing clarity@issu.ie
The ISSU further wishes to stress that due to the nature of calculated results and this unique situation, students should not contact their teachers in any capacity. Canvassing by students or parents with regard to the calculated grade a teacher will provide is not allowed, and will serve only to compromise the calculated grade process and their integrity.
Further clarity is still required on certain aspects of the guidance and the ISSU is continually engaging with the Department and other stakeholders to reflect these areas of uncertainty and concerns of students.
