5: Episode 5: Leaving Cert Reform
In this episode of 'It All Works Out' we talk about that all-important Leaving Cert reform. For years, young people have been shouting that this "one size fits all" exam is not fit for purpose. While it suits some learning styles, it is not an accurate measure of intelligence for everyone and puts incredible stress on all young people, regardless of ability. Luke talks to Ciara from ISSU, Bressie and the Class of Covid19 on what this reform should look like and how young people can amplify their voices on this important issue.

Uncertainty became the buzz word of 2020. From when the schools closed in March to the lead up to when the exams were officially cancelled, nobody had a clue what was going on. Even now, the results are out, college offers have been released but a massive uncertainty still faces young people. In this episode, we hear from the class of Covid19 on how the uncertainty impacted their mental health. Luke also interviews psychologist Aisling Leonard Curtin about sitting with uncertainty from a psychological perspective and the small actions we can take that can have a big effect on our emotional wellbeing.
