Implications of Brexit for the Irish Educational System: Discussion

4:00 pm

Professor Brian MacCraith:

The same process the universities used to change the points equivalents for A-levels for Northern Ireland students is in the pipeline to address that inequity in the IB schools so that parents can look forward to a fairer system in terms of points.
