Both Sinn Féin and the Labour Party have said that a solution to assessment for this year's Leaving Certificate cannot include school profiling.
Sinn Féin spokesperson on Education Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire called on the Government to make a commitment that historical school data will not be used in the standardisation process for Leaving Cert 2022.
Mr Ó Laoghaire said any use of such data could limit the potential of high-achieving students in schools where results have previously been weaker.
He pointed out that more often than not these were DEIS schools or schools in areas with high levels of disadvantage. Labour Party education spokesperson Aodhán Ó Ríordáin has also spoken out against the use of school profiling.
