Mixed feelings on art but science and religion fair

THE Junior Certificate science papers gave students plenty of topics to choose from, according to Gerry King from the Teachers’ Union of Ireland.

He said the higher level paper covered the entire syllabus, with a balance of easier and more searching questions. Most students should have been pleased with it and those who had revised well should expect to get good grades.

Mr King felt the full course was also covered on the ordinary level paper and students who found one topic difficult could have made up for it by choosing another question. He said the language was appropriate for ordinary level candidates and most students.
