I would like to hear the views of Mr. Jones and Ms Ní Chéileachair on continuous assessment for the core subjects. Leaving aside geography, history and what was known as commerce in my day, does a move to continuous assessment for English, Irish and mathematics constitute reform of the leaving certificate or should we go further? I am aware some of our witnesses do not support a move to continuous assessment as the way forward. I am interested in hearing Mr. Jones's and Ms Ní Chéileachair's views on the three core subjects.
