Delayed reform means 800,000 students have to go through 'stressful' Leaving Cert 

2030 is the proposed date that major reforms will be introduced for the Leaving Cert.

The Ombudsman for Children has warned that more than 800,000 students will have gone through the Leaving Cert since the United Nations found it causes a “disproportionate” level of stress, if reform continues at the current pace.

Dr Niall Muldoon was addressing the Oireachtas education committee on Tuesday.
