Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Amber Sheridan O'Callaghan:
Reducing the number of subjects in the leaving certificate to about four or five, with a minimum of four, would be very beneficial because students could then focus on those four subjects instead of trying to cram everything in. We should also have more options, such as philosophy and psychology classes, and classes that would benefit a student for college and life, where people can find out what do and do not like, so they have a better idea when going into college.
