The McIver report on the post-leaving certificate review was commissioned by my Department to examine the sector and make recommendations regarding the organisational, support, development, technical and administrative structures and resources required in schools and colleges with large-scale post-leaving certificate or PLC provision, having regard to good practice in related areas across the system and in other countries. The final report was completed in April 2003. The report contains 21 over-arching recommendations, incorporating over 90 sub-recommendations.

My Department is engaged in discussions with the Irish Vocational Education Association in relation to the structural changes envisaged in the report, their implications and costs.
