We have an ambitious programme of reform that, as I said, is centred on student well-being. In the main, anybody looking at this will say affording students an opportunity to spread the assessment load over two years will benefit them. As I said, this is already embedded in the leaving certificate applied and it is very much an opportunity for students to avoid feeling all of the burden of responsibility at a single moment in June, so I am very confident about it.
