I agree with everything Deputy Cannon has said. That is why we are trying to change the Junior Certificate. The only area of collaboration at junior cycle is on a team of 15 or 11 to win a match, or in a musical or dramatic production, none of which is measured in the examination. In every other activity one is a sole trader and hides one’s essay as it is being written to prevent anyone else seeing it. That is why we have to change.
