The State Examinations Commission (SEC) has confirmed that tests are being rescheduled for a "small number of schools". All schools were due to complete the practicals in the fortnight starting April 9, but some are being rescheduled for the week beginning April 23. The disruption comes amid growing problems over the availability of teachers to conduct oral and practical tests for the Leaving and Junior Cert.
