A drastic change
A new report shows that the majority of students and teachers are in favour of changing the Leaving Certificate programme from the current set-up of a single series of summer exams, and swapping it out for a staggered assessment over fifth and sixth year.
There is an apparent consensus amongst those consultations that shows the majority are in favour of the Leaving Certificate being much more flexible, with Leaving Cert results based on a series of exams, projects, portfolios, and teamworking exercises over the two years.
