Curriculum Reform at Senior Cycle: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail)
He has a very informed opinion at that rate. In senior cycle, what would he say are the biggest stressors? Is it the volume of workload people have to complete, the study they have to do afterward or the homework and staying up until 10 p.m.? Is it the pressure of the ticking clock in the exam hall? What are the big stressors? What could be taken out from the current senior cycle, be it examinations or the curriculum, that would ease some of that pressure?
