The Issue

We, the undersigned, are asking the relevant education authorities to review the difficulty and fairness of the Leaving Certificate 2026 Mathematics Paper 1 examination. Many students felt that the paper was significantly more challenging than expected, with questions that did not reflect the balance and style of previous examinations. We believe students should be assessed fairly based on the curriculum and the preparation they were given. We are requesting a review of the paper and consideration of any appropriate measures to ensure that students are not unfairly disadvantaged
