Inflation as recently as last year was as high as 7%.
There may be a possible loophole in the Department of Education's move to address grade inflation.
The class of 2025 will still see their grades artificially inflated - but only by 5.5% on average, according to a new brief to the Minister for Education, Helen McEntee.
