Exams still a major cause of stress for teenagers, survey finds

Exams are still a major cause of stress for teenagers despite reforms aimed at tackling the issue, a survey has found.

The study was conducted among more than 3,200 students by the national executive of Comhairle na nÓg, which represents youth councils in the country’s 31 local council areas.

More than three-quarters of students felt they learn best when they take part in active learning, like project work, role plays, quizzes, and debates, and with feedback from teachers.
