Irish Maths Standards
The first of the two final state maths exams that students do at the end of their second level schooling is in progress right now. Apparently, there are fewer students doing the highest level of maths than ever before: Leaving Cert honours maths uptake hits record low – report.
Welcome to the knowledge economy Irish style – a place where maths is not important!
