A West Clare teacher claims schools aren't sufficiently resourced to teach reformed curriculum coming in this September. At the beginning of the coming school year, nine new and revised Leaving Cert subject specifications will be introduced, with each of these to be worth 40% of students' final grade in the Leaving Cert. Teachers' representatives associations have previously called for the reforms to be delayed amid concerns around preparedness. St Joseph's Kilkee Community College teacher and former Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland president, Geraldine O'Brien, believes it's rushed.
