Leaving Cert
NUI Galway signs up to extra Maths points
NUI GALWAY has confirmed that it will introduce bonus points for Leaving Cert higher level mathematics – meaning that all seven of the Irish universities will be in favour of such an initiative being trialled. The scheme was proposed by education minister Mary Coughlan in the wake of this year’s Leaving Cert results, which showed that 4,000 students failed maths across all levels in 2010. UCC and NUIG had originally resisted the plan, but both have revised their opinions.
