Mr. Dalton Tattan:

Again, I would point to the NCCA report. The NCCA has done a very comprehensive piece of work, engaging with all stakeholders on this and we are keen to move it on. We understand that the stress leaving certificate students face and the over dependence on the sit-down, written exam in June, that single event, has been an issue for many years. We are very keen to move on and give them a better experience. We believe that the way we have reformed the junior cycle has improved the experience for students of post-primary education and we want to do something similar when it comes to senior cycle as well. Everything should not be dominated by the exam in June in each year.
