ASTI President congratulates Leaving Cert 2024 students
ASTI President Donal Cremin has congratulated all students receiving their Leaving Cert results today (Friday, August 23rd).
“Your teachers are extremely proud of you. Whatever your results today, all of you have crossed an important milestone in your lives. The skills and resilience you have developed while navigating through second-level education and the Leaving Cert are long lasting. Stay calm and take the time to explore your options and the different pathways open to you over the coming days and weeks.”
Almost 63,000 students will receive their Leaving Certificate results today.
“This year’s students experienced significant challenges during their second-level education journey due to the pandemic. Most of the 2024 Leaving Cert cohort did not have the opportunity to do their Junior Cert and therefore had no previous experience of sitting State exams. A key learning from the pandemic is that we must protect our State exams process. Ireland performs very well in international comparisons of student performance. We must protect and build upon our high-quality education system.”
Mr Cremin concluded by urging today’s Leaving Cert students to celebrate their results safely.
“This is a day to be proud of yourself. I urge you to keep yourself and those around you safe,” said Mr Cremin.
