Junior Certificate reform debate
Charlie McConalogue asks when statements on Junior Certificate reform will be held, criticising the lack of implementation detail. The Tánaiste says the Education Minister intends to bring a motion soon, subject to discussions among the Whips.
It had been indicated that the House would hear statements on junior certificate reform today. That will not now happen. When will we have statements on junior certificate reform? We have heard an announcement and seen publicity about reform but we have seen very little detail about how it will be implemented. It is important that we have statements and discuss the matter in the House as soon as possible.
