 Submission to the Points Commission   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The failing of the Leaving Certificate and the points-based college admissions system which accompanies is not due to limited resources or limited opportunities: the problem is that the Leaving Certificate and the Points System assumes that there is only one type of intelligence, when in fact there are many different types.
If thousands of students are sitting Leaving Certificate examinations every year in subjects which are of no use to them in their everyday lives, the Department has to recognise and address this.
Our argument is that the Leaving Certificate values and examines only one kind of intelligence: academic intelligence, and even that only in a narrow and rigid way, which involves memorisation and the ability to produce what one has memorised with almost mechanical skill.

In my “Personal View” on syllabus reform (“Chemistry in Action”, no.2, October 1980), I remarked that I was able to integrate some 50 experiments into the two years leading to the Leaving Certificate in Chemistry.

Indeed, if the outcome is not what is expected, the ‘experiment’ is usually by-passed and recourse has to be made to the textbook instead.”
