Parents angry over religious ‘failures’
CATHOLIC parents are outraged at results in the first Junior Certificate religious education exam, which was failed by more than 200 students. The subject was taken by 5,800 students at around 60 schools this summer after a pilot project aimed at phasing it in to all schools over the next few years.
But National Congress of Catholic Secondary Schools Parent Associations (CSPA) said that it was disgraceful so many young people are being given the idea they are failures at religion.
