I think all exams should be open book. It increases note taking skills that are actually used in life and the work place and it would decrease exam stress. It’s unfair to assume all students can retain mass amounts of info. Exams should be application based and not a memory test.
"Direct provision is the Magdalene laundry of modern times" we've heard this for over 20yrs, what is being done to put an end to it? I have lived in this system for close to 7yrs, I did not commit any crime, why I have to be subjected to years of incarceration remains a mystery.
This is a political document from an embattled Minister (with an attempted political strategy therein to divide parents & school staff), not an official Dept circular and not something of educational value.

Hunger strikes, in Ireland, in 2020, over institutional abuse.
Direct Provision is a stain on this nation, it cannot be abolished quickly enough.
Solidarity to the hunger strikers in Kerry ✊ #EndDirectProvision
Eamon Ryan, who is paid at least €90.10 per hour, had to be woken to vote against people getting potentially paid €12.30 per hour. I don’t want to hear any excuses. Disgraceful @EamonRyan
