30,000 Junior Cert students to avoid losing out on marks
The development comes as a result of the Department of Education removing a link between the test, worth 10% of marks in Junior Certificate English, and a separate classroom-based assessment (CBA) which Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) refuse to undertake with their students.
While the change requires a formal revision to Department of Education instructions a year ago that students could only do the assessment task if they had completed the CBA, that change is expected to be happen this week.
