A new survey shows 64% of second-level schools may have to drop one or more Leaving Cert subjects next year due to budget cuts.

The study, entitled 'Imact of Austerity Measures on second level schools' and carried out for the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland (ASTI) says 47% of schools have already dropped subjects since 2009.
