"The number of students to have their Leaving Cert and Leaving Cert Applied results permanently withheld because of cheating in this year's exams has risen to 155."
"New figures provided by the State Examinations Commission (SEC) show that 155 Leaving Cert results have been permanently withheld because of cheating."
More than 65,000 candidates sat the Leaving Cert exams this year. A total of 155 Leaving Cert and Leaving Cert Applied results have been permanently withheld due to cheating. The State Examinations Commission (SEC) provided figures showing the increase in permanent withholdings to 155. The withholdings apply to both standard Leaving Cert and Leaving Cert Applied programmes. The permanent withholding of results denotes a formal sanction applied after investigation of cheating allegations. Students subject to permanent withholding lose official certification of their results, and authorities enforced penalties for confirmed cases of academic misconduct.
