AILO National Final 11th March – Remote from Schools

In view of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the possible progression of the Coronavirus risk in Ireland, we have decided to run the National Final of All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad remotely in schools this year. The on-site event would have brought students from 60 schools together and it is considered a precautionary response.  All teacher contacts have already been emailed with these details.

How it will work on Wed 11th March for Students who have Qualified

Like the Preliminary Round, teachers of qualified students will receive a PDF paper and answer booklet on Wednesday 11th March by 8am.

The 2.5 hour printed paper can be taken in school by qualified students on the 11th March under exam conditions with a teacher present.

Teachers are asked to scan / photograph answer booklets and email them to us on Wednesday please. With the event in DCU cancelled, we will not run the team round.

We understand that qualifiers may be disappointed to be missing out on the on-site event and regret the need for this decision.
