Rigging the Leaving Cert

[Diarmuid]

Camileireacht san Ard Teist.

There is a famous private educational institute, located on a famous street in Dublin.

Very expensive.

Most of the work they do is honest and good. They have good teachers, the students are motivated and bad behaviour is not tolerated.

A few months before the Leaving cert, the students are told that there will be a special after hours session. It's not obligatory, but it is strongly suggested they attend.

When the students arrive, the teacher starts writing questions on the blackboard. He tells them they should thoroughly study these questions. There are no printouts and when everyone has taken down the questions, the teacher rubs out what he has written.

When the students open their Leaving Cert exam papers a few months later, the same questions appear, word for word.

This implies that senior civil servants in the Department of Education sell the questions to this educational institute. Politicians are aware of this.

it is inescapable that a private college which can only command fees by giving a result to people who require a result by fair means or foul will take steps to achive that result --surprise surprise --thus it is and will always be .

Agreed, but isn't it a shame that there is some fucker in the Dept of Education prepared to sell the exam papers? Would it be possible to have a civil service where nobody was dishonest?

Perhaps a more serious consequence is that it creates a senses of entitlement and corruption within the students which they will carry forward into their careers, many of which will be within the government.
