This afternoon.
Kildare Street, Dublin 2.
Academic Áine Hyland (above) and bilingual activists outside the Dail at the launch of a discussion document demonstrating the case against proposals from the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) for the Irish leaving cert exam, currently under consultation.
Irish language, Gaeltacht and Student bodies behind the document want the reforms – which could lead to Gaeltacht and Gaelscoil Leaving Cert students facing a more challenging Irish exam than their counterparts in the wider secondary sector – rejected.
The document was prepared by Ms Hyland and Fíona Uí Uiginn, and responds to the Senior Cycle Draft Irish Specifications published for consultation by the NCCA in February.
Tuigeann?
Kinda.
Amadán.

From school I’m a while gone away-so
I must accept this if they say-so.
Could it also be managed
That the gealteachtly* challenged
Could avoid Tháinig long ó Valparaiso?
* Focal nua, specially for the occasion!
