Parents have called for an update on the issuing of Junior Cert results a month on from their usual release.
The Junior Cert results are routinely issued each September but their release has been significantly delayed this year. The State Examinations Commission previously stated that the appeal of Leaving Cert results, which were sent out in September, would take priority over Junior Cert results.
However, parents and students have not received an update as to when they can expect their results. Some parents have argued this causes their teenagers anxiety, as some students may rely on their Junior Cert results to determine whether they can take honours or ordinary level classes for their Leaving Cert.
