Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion

Mr. Eamon Dennehy:

The three programmes, for example, the leaving certificate vocational programme, LCVP, have limited availability. A student has to choose certain subjects. We would be in favour of that not happening any more. Any subject a student does for his or her leaving certificate is, possibly, a vocational subject, such as languages. It does not matter what subject it is. Any subject can be vocational.
