I think that it is quite a high number. I seem to have 46% in my head from previous years. The challenge is creating equality from one year to the next for access to third level. In some ways, improving the curriculum and the method of assessment is the easier task related to reform of the leaving certificate. The harder challenge is to produce a more equal outcome for the leaving certificate. Is it a specific target of the work being conducted that there be a more equitable outcome in the results of the leaving certificate? How is that priority being weighted against other considerations? What are the challenges there?
