Mr. Ciar?n Duffy:

First, it is clear from the surveys of our members that there must be an element of choice on all leaving certificate exam papers. That in itself is causing a huge amount of stress to students. The adjustments brought in by the NCCA over the last numbers of years, due to the Covid pandemic, have helped hugely. That is something we will be calling for into the future. In terms of making a call now on what topic should be removed from the syllabus, that is not something I would be able to answer at the minute off the top of my head.
