Facebook founder on ‘fine’ technology exam

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg made an appearance on the metalwork and technology exam for 6,000 Junior Certificate students yesterday.

Those taking the higher level exam had the option of writing about his contribution to technology in a paper that Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland subject spokesman Kenny Donagher considered fine for most students.

He said it was good to see the exam feature a topic that young people would be talking about.
