In his statement, Mr. Jones mentioned he believes the junior certificate science cycle is being dumbed down. Will he elaborate on that? Since I was in school, there is a new subject, physics and chemistry, that students can take for the leaving certificate. It is one subject that involves the study of both areas. Is Mr. Jones concerned that this may be dumbing down science as well?
