Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion

Mr. Neil McDonnell:

Not being an educationalist, I would be reluctant to get into the detail of this other than to observe team working is an essential skill. As to how that is achieved, I will leave the nuts and bolts of that to others. For example, there are projects in history, business, even in mathematics, science or biology than could be done on a team rather than an individual basis and they could be marked on that basis with a collective mark for the members of the team rather than an individual mark. Those are the sorts of ways it could be achieved but I would leave that issue to those who are vocationally qualified to suggest how it could be achieved.
