There are calls for the Leaving Certificate and college examinations to be deferred until the autumn because of the coronavirus.
Schools and colleges are shut until the end of the month for now to contain the spread of the infection.
Peter Finnegan from the Teaching Council of Ireland thinks the Leaving Cert and other exams should be postponed until September.
"I would be looking at September as the target date, so at least people have inter mind that they have a clear date they're working towards.
"It takes pressure off students, it takes pressure off parents, and it focusses the young people who are sitting the Leaving Cert on September as a date.
It's not just Leaving Cert, because there are university students completing their final exams. And in that case I would also defer them to September."
