A lack of clear answers on what will happen during the Leaving Cert exams next year is leading to an 'unrelenting cycle' of over-assessment that will lead students to 'crash and burn'. 

That’s the warning from Reuban Murray, president of the Irish Second-Level Students Union (ISSU), who addressed the Oireachtas education committee on Thursday.
