As the Deputy will be aware, a review of that is ongoing and will be completed in 2026. That will give us a better insight into what is being achieved currently in comparison with what was there previously. Even with things like oral Irish, when there was an option for that to be provided as part of the junior cycle, 40% of schools availed of that, whereas with the new class-based assessment, the second class-based assessment is based on the engagement with the language and all of that, including the oral proficiency of the student. All students take that. It will be interesting to see what comes out of this review or study.
