    The motion for the debate is "Should students have to pay for the Junior Cert" You're either for/against the motion you can't be both. Please write the debate out as if it was in English.

    I'm personally against the motion because Ireland is supposed to be a "free education system" and I think the board of education should cover the fees. Are you for or against the motion?

    I recommend having three to four good reasons or more if you like debating, I'll announce a winner when a lot of debates come through, good luck!

    I'm not even doing the Junior Cert but why should people have to pay for something that they have to do?

    The fees only cover a small amount of the cost of running the exams.
    I'm afraid free education went out the window here a long time ago, if it ever really was here.
