I get the impression that review might not take into consideration my issue with the junior certificate, in particular when it comes to how maths questions are worded, how they have been tied together with the new profile of maths and how everything is put together. In many ways, that review does not solve the issue that I have. When it comes to the junior certificate in particular and the leaving certificate afterwards, how maths questions are put together could be argued to be actively discriminating against people with reading disabilities.
