Only ten Junior Cycle students suspected of cheating in their exams this year

A total of 10 Junior Cycle students are suspected to have engaged in cheating in this year’s State exams.

This follows the State Examinations Commission (SEC) confirming on Friday that it has with-held 10 Junior Cycle 2022 results in the subjects of Irish, Maths, History, Business Studies and Religious Education.

An SEC spokesman said that the 10 permanently withheld results include "full results withheld, or marks withheld, from candidates found to be in breach of the SEC's examinations regulations.”
