rSir, – Quite apart from the merits or demerits of the new testing methods proposed for third-year secondary school students, why is it deemed necessary to change the name (Breaking News, January 15th)?
Some years ago the Intermediate Certificate became the Junior Certificate and it is now proposed to call it the Junior Cycle Certificate Award. The government department with overall responsibility has changed its name on a number of occasions, usually on the pretext of reform. Does proposed reform always require a name change or have we learned nothing from the HSE? – Yours, etc,
