    More changes announced for Leaving Cert timetable


    The Leaving Cert timetable is to be changed again next year in an effort to reduce the pressure on exam students.

    On the first day of exams in 2009, English Paper 1 will be followed by Home Economics in the afternoon.

    On the second day, English Paper 2 will be followed by Engineering.

    The changes will mean that almost all of the 53,000 Leaving Cert candidates will have a half day free in the opening three days of the exams.

    I think that this is a good change - I did my LC years ago and did Home-Economics, found it easier to study that subject as a lot of it was common knowledge (it may have changed a bit now) and also there was an overlap with Biology on some of the parts of it.
    What does everyone else think of this news...is it any help?

    Well, it's less than a fortnight since the timetable went up. That's fast reporting!

    If they want to reduce the 'stress levels' of students and actually make a real difference, they would change the LC courses and not the time table. -/Lip-Service/-

    I'd actually hate to be doing Home Ec or Engineering now. It used to be Chemistry which really sucked but I'm happy. :D

    All of these media stations have news circles to go through and they were probably out of news so they all reported on the leaving cert!
