📚Calculated Grades should replace written exams for Leaving Cert 2021 📚
- Orals and project work should be determined on a subject-by-subject basis -
Ógra Fianna Fáil have proposed to scrap the 'traditional' Leaving Cert exams and replace them with Calculated Grades for 2021.
Young people face disruption, uncertainty& huge stress. Leaving Cert students must be given a choice between alternative assesment/grading & a 'traditional ' exam. They need clarity now. As do Teachers. It's decision time for govt. @issu4u
I don't want to pile on Norma Foley but she was just asked when students/parents/schools/teachers would know about contingency plans for Leaving Cert. Her answer started with "you have to understand we are in a pandemic". Norma that's exactly why the question is being asked.
Education Minister @NormaFoleyTD1 asked 4 times by 6:1 presenter @mcculld what is the date when the Govt will decide whether or not to proceed with #LeavingCert2021 exams. She declined to answer the question, or explain why she could/would not answer @rtenews
