Leaving Certificate reform review to be published before end of year

An advisory report proposing reforms was presented to Norma Foley earlier this year following intensive consultation with principals, teachers, and students.

The Minister for Education intends to publish a review looking at how to reform the senior cycle and Leaving Certificate exams, by the end of the year.

Norma Foley told post-primary school principals she intends to publish the long-awaited review of the senior cycle, looking at all aspects of senior cycle education, including final exams and mandatory subjects.
