Written Answers. - Student Failure Levels.
My Department is currently in the process of finalising a comprehensive report on retention rates in post-primary schools. The report will deal specifically with pupils who commenced year 1 of the junior cycle as part of their full-time education and were enrolled in post-primary schools on 30 September, 1994. It is intended to publish the report, when complete.
The following table sets out the number of pupils enrolled in post primary schools on 30 September 1992, 1993 and 1994, together with the percentage of those pupils who subsequently sat the junior certificate examination.
