Maureen O'Sullivan (Dublin Central, Independent)

The leaving certificate applied course has been successful, part of which was due to the resources that went into it, the support for teachers, assessments and their monitoring. These factors need to be borne in mind if we are going down that road with the junior certificate.

If a reformed junior certificate is introduced in 2014, will it be part of the curriculum training for the next intake of higher diploma in education, HDip, students?
