Norma Foley pledges to press ahead with reforms she says will ease pressure on students
She added that students have yet to see proposals that cater to the needs of Leaving Certificate 2024 students who wish to repeat and re-sit their Irish and English paper one exams.
The ISSU and the Teachers’ Union of Ireland are due to host a joint consultative conference this weekend on senior cycle reform to reflect on the likely impact of the planned changes. Ms Foley has also pointed to other jurisdictions where there are many examples of exams being taken over a two-year period.
Speaking in advance of the conference, TUI president Liz Farrell said moving English and Irish paper one is “educationally unsound” and would pile additional pressure on students and teachers.
