Over 55,000 Leaving Cert students will begin their Leaving Cert Exams tomorrow.
Minister Ciarán Cannon says students should have the option of doing their exams on a computer.
The Minister is currently developing a five-year strategy on digital teaching and learning and says many young people were more comfortable using a tablet than a pen.
He believes technology "can be a great tool in creating interest around topics for young people".
"Telling students that the only way we are going to assess you is for you to get into a room and write constantly for three hours, is very off putting and adds to the stress."
