Ireland’s reputation ‘at risk with poor results’
Chief executive of the Chambers of Commerce Ireland, John Dunne, said a fast response to consistently- high fail rates in maths and science subjects is essential.
“A key to Ireland’s success is a well-educated workforce but we can’t afford to sit on our laurels. Over the past decade we have positioned our economy to move forward very quickly but it could all be jeopardised if standards at this level continue to slip,” he said.
