The fact that students have to pay exam fees at all is ridiculous.
Completely forgot that you had to pay to do the exams if I recall correctly it was around €110/120 a bit steep like
Any particular reason that they’ve dropped the fees for this year?
The article doesn’t mention one.
The fees shouldn’t exist. Students have to do the junior and a Leaving Cert is pretty much a necessity for the job market and for further education.
Fees penalise the poor, when further education is already made difficult by poverty
Wait? You have to pay fees to sit these exams?! Fuck me sideways.
I went to a DEIS school and had to pay these fees. Madness.
“Listen ye might not get the courses ye want since we’re not lowering the points from the record high levels, but hey we’ll save yere parents some money!”
My daughter asked (kindly) for the money instead 🙄….I think she deserves it though, she’s been working hard
