Abstract:
The existence of the
Curriculum and Examinations Board, started in January 1984 by the Minister for
Education, provides an opportunity for reviewing the position of statistics in the second
level curriculum and making appropriate proposals for change.
The terms of reference of the board call for the investigation of (among other topics)
(l) assessment of the junior level,
(n) the Leaving Certificate as a measure of general education,
(in) alternative senior cycle programmes,
and call for wide consultation on these and other topics.
The Board has already published consultative documents, (1), (2), and has set up a
number of committees and working parties with members largely drawn from outside the
Board itself. It is clear from its work to date that the Board is taking a very broad view.
