Mr. Dalton Tattan:

I will hand over to my colleague, Mr. Kenny, in a moment to talk about that. There are examples of this, particularly in some of the Scandinavian countries, to the point that they rely almost exclusively on it. It is a concern. It is not completely within the culture of Irish teachers to do something like this for State certification purposes. The equivalent grade experience demonstrates that it is possible to do it but we would also have to think about some of the other implications. It is important that we do not harm that relationship because it is a huge support to students each day in school. Mr. Kenny might talk about some of the examples of other countries to give the Deputy a flavour of that.
