I have welcome the launch of the new CAO points scale this week by Minister for Education and Skills, Jan O'Sullivan TD.
This new scale will be used from 2017 and effect students currently studying in 5th Year. The announcement of the new CAO points scale is the first significant change to the system in over 20 years and is one of a number of reforms taking place in our education system.
The new points scale in combination with the new grading system announced for Leaving Certificate earlier this year will ease the pressure students experience during their exams and positively contribute to the students overall second level experience.
Ensuring that our education system provides a well-rounded and engaging experience for students is a priority for me as Spokesperson for Education and I welcome the launch of the new CAO points scale by my colleague, Minister O'Sullivan.
