As the government slogan goes - a lot done - more to do. -- CGorman 21:07, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I think we could create an article "List of optional subjects of the Junior Certificate" or something similar to rid us of that list? Just list compulsory subjects and broad overview. Djegan 14:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Is this still actually on the curriculum? And more importantly, do any schools even do the subject any more? I never heard of it as a Junio Cert subject, nor did it appear on the Junior Cert exam timetable of 2000 -- Zilog Jones 23:12, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
Typewriting is indeed a subject on the Junior Cert. I just did mine this year and it was timetabled aswell as on
the departments subject forms. Not many schools seem to actually teach it though, my school (for example) doesn't teach it and discouraged students from doing it because of that. - No user name - 15 September 2005
I'd like to do Typewriting as a J.C subject but my school doesn't do it. Also, I'm just finishing 2nd year now so I think it might be too late to start anyway, even if I can/could — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.167.254.178 ( talk) 18:48, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
Are these subjects mandatory? I was under the impression it was just English, Irish and Maths. 83.147.171.12 15:57, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
CSPE is also mandatory for everybody, I think. Also, some schools have other subjects mandatory other than English, Irish, Maths and CSPE e.g Geography, History, Science or more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.167.254.178 ( talk) 18:50, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
This section reeks of political correctness. I probably sound like an old fusspot here, looking back through rose-tinted spectacles, but when I was in school we just got on with it... Anyway, this section badly needs citations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.3.50.254 ( talk) 08:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
I agree; it reads as if it was written by some indignant fourteen-year-old. I'll attempt to clean this up at some stage - any useful citations would be appreciated. Some of the criticisms could also be incorporated into the article on the Leaving Certificate. -- 78.16.91.92 ( talk) 03:38, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Is the Junior Certificate truly the Irish equivalent of the GCSE? Miel et Soufre ( talk) 22:05, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Nooooo not at all. I'd say the Leaving Cert is...but GSCE has the A levels with it...so the leaving cert would probably be the GCSE and A levels combined —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.111.182.107 ( talk) 14:18, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
It looks to me like Junior Cycle is a WP:CONTENTFORK of this article. Should it be merged into this article?
I would be inclined to agree with merging the two articles on the basis that there is not much difference between the two systems at this point in time, considering they are being run concurrently in schools. Keelan • Talk | Contribs 20:07, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
I think it makes sense to merge them too. I think notionally the Junior Cycle is a broader form of assessment than the Junior Certificate, but in the minds of most people they are almost interchangeable. David Malone ( talk) 08:09, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
