    Wicklow Minister Commits To Reforming Current Format Of Leaving Cert Exams

    The Higher Education Minister says the Government is reforming the Leaving Cert amid criticism of the exams.

    The criticism today came from the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals

    It says the exams do not fit next to another curriculum, such as at junior or primary levels.

    Wicklow Minister Simon Harris says other pathways, which aren't points based, are on offer this year.
