Grateful to have contributed to discussions in Ireland & beyond about the urgent need for AI literacy in schools. Bottom line: There can be no major LC reform until this is a reality. Check out my 2024 review 👉 www.linkedin.com/pulse/reflec... #AIEducation #TeachingWithAI #EduTech #edchatie

Lots of comments already on the lack of respect shown by government towards teachers. Sadly, this is a reflection of wider society rather than a particular distain for teachers from TDs. The main issue is that we’ve had a minister more interested in headlines than meaningful measures. #edchatIE

Aisling. Secondary teacher from Dublin. First and foremost I would like an immediate pause on LC reform until a lot of teachers’ concerns are addressed and actioned. #edchatie

#edchatie on Bluesky — Julian Girdham
Irish teachers miss the #edchatie discussion days, and now that we’re moving to Bluesky, here’s a proposal.

Letter in today’s ’Irish Times’ on Leaving Cert ‘improvements’ and the AACs worth 40%, by Prof Desmond Swan. #edchatie Details in alt-text.
Sir, – I refer to Carl O’Brien’s article “Why second-level teachers are protesting” (Education, November 20th), and would first point out that every “reform” is not necessarily improvement.

If it is now proposed to allocate 40 per cent of marks in some Leaving Certificate subjects, to projects or other work to be carried out unsupervised, eg at home, surely this is quite unrealistic, especially under today’s conditions. What parent is there who will not want to intervene and help their child if they have the relevant expertise to do so? Some will, some won’t. But, given the virtual “industry” in projects, essays, etc, now accessible online to everyone who can pay, surely this changed context undermines the reliability, and therefore the trustworthiness, of those parts of the examination.

Whatever its shortcomings, this exam has long been seen by the public as trustworthy. Please let us keep it so. – Yours, etc,

DESMOND SWAN,
