Over 70,000 Leaving Cert students set to receive results today

OVER 70,000 LEAVING Cert students will get their results today. 

A total of 70,411 students are set to receive their results, an increase of 15% since 2024.

Nearly 93% of people followed the traditional established programme, while the remaining 7% completed the applied programme, which sees students focus more on work-related modules.

Overall, the number of people completing the Leaving Cert has increased by 15% since 2024.

This also marks the first year that students with special educational needs will get their results. 

The new Senior Cycle Level 1 and 2 Learning Programmes aim to prepare students for life beyond school. 305 students in 78 schools across the country will be receiving their results. 

Minister for Education and Youth Hildegarde Naughton offered her congratulations to the students, including those receiving results in the Senior Cycle Level 1 and Level 2 Learning programmes.

“Today marks the culmination of years of hard work, dedication and challenges overcome. I hope you take the time to celebrate this achievement, to reflect on everything you have accomplished, the friendships and memories you have made and the contribution you have made to your school and wider community.

“I would particularly like to congratulate the students who have completed the Level 1 and Level 2 Learning Programmes and who, for the first time, are receiving their results alongside their peers. This is an important achievement and a testament to your hard work, as well as to the support of the families, teachers and school staff who have helped you along the way.
