Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Dalton Tattan:

The NCCA's work has gone on for somewhat longer than that. The Deputy is right that it went on until the end of May. We have engaged with the document and had conversations with colleagues here and the Minister regarding the Government response. We hope to respond to that in the coming weeks. The next steps after that will depend on the shape of that response. We will be going into an implementation phase of some sort. There will need to be further engagement with colleagues in the NCCA and with others, including the State Examinations Commission and stakeholders.
