Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion

Ms Emer Neville:

Yes. Introducing second component assessments would allow students with different learning strengths, for example, if they are better with visual, audio or physical hands-on learning, to make up lost points and there would not be a need for additional grinds or supports because their educational needs would have been met in other areas.
