The Teachers Union of Ireland says it'll be working with the State Examinations Commission to help vulnerable Leaving Cert students.
It says those with underlying health issues and special education needs mustn't have their prospects further damaged by the coronavirus crisis.
The exam has been postponed until late July or early August.
TUI President Seamus Lahart says they will do their utmost to help vulnerable students:
'We realise that there are students who are immunocompromised, and they will require their health and safety to not be compromised in any way.
"Also there are difficulties with practical elements of some subjects, and we would require that the Leaving Cert applied programme be adequately cared for."
