We’re joined by Jack McGinn, President of the Irish Second-Level Students’ Union (ISSU).

Jack shares insights into how students feel about the Senior Cycle changes and what these reforms mean for their education and wellbeing.

We explore:

• The ISSU’s views on the proposed Senior Cycle reforms.


• The shift from single-terminal exams to ongoing assessment components.


• The importance of breaking down barriers to ensure inclusivity for all students.


• How the Senior Cycle can better prepare students for life after school, whether through college, apprenticeships, or the workforce.
