Home-schooled Leaving Cert students feel abandoned by predicted grades scheme (via @IrishTimes) irishtimes.com/news/educatio…
@HazelSmyth2019 Thank you for all your support and taking the time to assist us in writing this letter.
Only a week given for external candidates to fill in the application correctly and get all the information they need...

Absolutely appalled by the ‘ learners out of school’ process. So many external candidates will not be able to considered for calculated grades.

A few external candidates received this email on Monday after contacting the CGEO. We waited all day yesterday and received no email. What is being done in regards to external candidates is unheard of! False promises and lies. @McHughJoeTD #leavingcert2020

39 days after Calculated Grades #LeavingCert2020 were announced, my homeschooled brother has heard NOTHING from @Education_Ire. He has been completely forgotten by @McHughJoeTD. He has worked v. hard for exams & this treatment is unbelievably cruel @ThomasByrneTD @Donnchadhol

I'm taking action to have subjects studied outside school recognised for the #LeavingCert. Many students study outside of school for a variety of reasons. They should not be dismissed. Can you join me by signing this petition? my.uplift.ie/petitions/recog… via @UpliftIRL
It’s been two weeks since the email for external candidates has been sent out. Still not updates! This is absolutely unacceptable. HPAT results have been released and we don’t even know how we’ll be receiving our grades @McHughJoeTD #leavingcert2020
We urge everyone to sign this petition! We external candidates have been left in the dark for a month now. This has been so stressful for us and we’d love your support. #LeavingCert2020 change.org/p/department-of-e…

External candidates need answers. They have been left almost a full month with no certainty regarding their future which has caused an unbelievable amount of stress & anxiety. The silence from @McHughJoeTD is unacceptable. Zero consideration for this minority group of students.

Speaking in the Dáil shortly will be raising the issue of @2020External among other issues incl special education, return to school plans and planning for temporary accommodation with Minister for Education
This is the email leaving certificate 2020 external candidates received regarding calculated grades. That fact that the Minister of Education is considering making some of us wait another year for third-level education because their plan doesn’t suit us is barbaric! #LeavingCert
@Education_Ire @McHughJoeTD @LeoVaradkar This issue needs to be addressed immediately! We have a right to 3rd level education in 2020 as much as the 6th years that attend traditional school #LeavingCert2020
@ThomasByrneTD @Donnchadhol @AodhanORiordain As our TD’s and Education representatives we need your help to address this issue in the Dáil Éireann tomorrow. We need a solution that gives us ALL access to 3rd level education in 2020

The category referred to might opt in but be refused, due to lack of evidence/access to registered teacher. Surely it should be possible to arrange some form of online examination for such a small cohort as is involved.

Hi Joe, just wondering when my home-educated brother, who has studied hard for his Leaving Certificate exams, will know how the Calculated Grades process works for him. It is beyond unfair that 18 days after the announcement, he still has no idea where he stands. #LeavingCert
