Students should have 'stronger say' in Leaving Cert reform, principals group says

Research carried out in 2018 by the NAPD found that 83% of students claimed that the Leaving Certificate examination in its traditional form was "not the best way to assess" their educational achievement.

Students should continue to be given a stronger say in their Leaving Cert learning and assessment, according to the representative group for post-primary school principals.

Today, 700 school leaders from around the country will attend the first day of the annual National Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD) conference, which will focus on reform of the senior cycle.
