read today that figures for students sitting the leaving cert are really low this yr, havent been this low since 1991!! this means a drop in points!!!

Does it also not mean that less people are finishing school and working in warehouses for 6 euro an hour???

Every little bit helps

Hopefully the drop in students really does lead to a drop in points. Where did you read this?

Yeah, there are less people sitting it, but the high-points courses will stay high points, and the ones that will drop will be things like jam making

They said this last year too, it doesn't make much of a difference either way. Unless your going for some completly random course like bio chemical astro physics.

ireland is coming down from its baby boom period so for the next few years there will be less and less teenagers sitting the leaving cert from the decline in the population,thats before you take into account people who left school already
