My understanding is that early school leavers will still be recognised with the FETAC certification. Ms Maguire referred to the role of teachers now under the junior certificate. Teachers at primary level carry out assessment of pupils. There is FETAC certification in the further education system that does not involve State examinations. We already have it in our system. The junior certificate is FETAC level. If other teachers can do it, why can second level teachers not do it?
