DESC says it's working to protect Island pupils
The education department is closely monitoring exam disruption in the UK to protect Manx students.
Minister Dr Alex Allinson says they are working to ensure people here are on a 'level playing field' with others entering further education.
It's as GCSE, AS and A-level exams in Wales are to be cancelled next summer, with grades based on classroom assessments.
Dr Allinson says some Island youngsters will likely be affected:
