Vol. 396 No. 6

Written Answers. - New Junior Certificate.

Jimmy Deenihan

Ceist:

34 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Education if she will clarify the assessment procedures for the new junior certificate as students are in their final phase of the first year of this programme and teachers feel that they will have inadequate time to prepare for oral work, aural work, project work, field work, laboratory work and other assignment studies.

Recommendations in regard to assessment procedures for the junior certificate have been submitted by the NCCA. Interested parties have been invited to put forward their observations on those recommendations by 30 April 1990. The Deputy will agree that it would be inadvisable to pre-empt at this stage the definitive form that assessment procedures will take.
