CAO 2021: Lessons learned from Covid to bring with you this college year

Following the year of blended learning on campus and online in 2020, students and college staff are better equipped for the New Normal in education.

When last year’s Leaving Certs were considering their CAO options, they knew they were facing into the unknown, but nobody could have predicted the extent of new territory that the whole higher education sector would be entering due to Covid 19.

Instead of moving out of home and facing the challenges that come with fending for yourself while also meeting lots of new people, students mostly stayed at home and went to college online.
