Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Andrew Brownlee:
The Deputy is right; we need to get away from those badges. The Deputy mentioned categorisation. The worst thing that could happen, which is somewhat what happened to the leaving certificate applied, is where you siphon off the less academic people. It needs to be seen as a valued integrated part of the overall senior cycle.
