ISSU meets An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar
ISSU Welfare Officer Eric Ehigie meets An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar at the Future Jobs Summit at the Aviva Stadium
Member's of the ISSU National Student Executive were delighted to have participated in the Future Jobs Summit at the Aviva Stadium which brought together over 160 stakeholders from all aspects of society to discuss what jobs and careers will look like in the future. Over 65% of professionals surveyed believed that their skills will be inapt or out of date within 4 years. We need to ensure that students are adaquately equipped with the relevant skills to adapt and diversify as they will have to in the future. This means reforming the leaving cert to ensure that creativity, critical thinking and analytical skills are promoted and part of the curriculum.
Members of our NSE quizzed An Taoiseach and the Minister for Education on LC reform and insisted that the student voice must always be heard.

#LC2017#FrenchMichelle Chiperi Aivazova - Coláiste EindeThis morning I woke up not being able to stomach breakfast. French for me was a bluff exam, one I could have seriously just wrote down what I knew. That's what happened, the comprehensions were easy and the opinion pieces were all so easy I left an hour early because I had so much time.

#Physics - #LC2017 - Glen Kiely
#LC2017 #PhysicsGlen Kiely - St. Munchins CollegeI sat the Physics higher level paper today. I thought that the paper was difficult enough, but wasn't too hard. The experiments were tough but I was happy with them.at came up.Section B wasn't too bad either, as usual, the mechanics Q6 was difficult. I did 6 questions overall: 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12(a&c). They weren't too bad, there was a few questions near the ends of each question that could throw you but overall it was a good paper!Check out more exam blogs here: http://issu.ie/the-issu-…/issu-exam-blogs-leaving-cert-2017/ #StateExams2017 
#History - #LC2017 - Sarah Ní Chonghaile
#LC2017 #HistorySarah Ní Chonghaile - Ratoath CollegeHonestly I was happy with the DBQ but I knew before I went in that I wouldn't get as much as I wanted written because my hand was already cramped from the week of intense writing prior! I was delighted to see partition on the sovereignty and partition section and the civil rights movement in the north reared its head in the NI section which I was delighted with. I wasn't too happy with the choices for the American section but I ended up doing a question about the American presidents' actions and if they were for good of America ( I detailed on war and said that it wasn't good and so on!) I was sufficiently happy with this paper but I would've preferred to have written much more!Check out more exam blogs here: http://issu.ie/the-issu-exam-blogs-2017/Want to win a €100 One4All gift card?

#JC2017 #ReligionDiego Alonso Brule Galleguillos - Coláiste EindeReligion is probably the only subject I actually had very little knowledge of, as I missed first year and 2nd and 3rd year weren't really productive, so I just did Ordinary Level.The test was quite simple, a few short to medium length answer questions about general world religion knowledge and so on.i finished quite quickly because it was an ordinary level paper, so I don't really know what to expect in my results.Next, TG! so fun!Check out more exam blogs here: http://issu.ie/the-issu-…/issu-exam-blogs-leaving-cert-2017/Want the chance to win a €100 One4All voucher?

#ClassicalStudies - #LC2017 - Sarah Ní Chonghaile
#LC2017 #ClassicalStudiesSarah Ní Chonghaile - Ratoath CollegeHonestly, I was delighted with this paper as the sculpture and painting questions were very straight forward. I did the two Aeneid questions as I could spend all day criticising Aeneas- abandoning your girlfriend hmmm I smell a rat! I liked the Alexander the Great question about his relationships with women as I'd prepared that last month! The Oedipus question was very nice as well as it required me to use my critical thinking skills quite a bit! It was a very nice paper overall and I'm hoping that a good grade comes out of it!Check out more exam blogs here: http://issu.ie/the-issu-…/issu-exam-blogs-leaving-cert-2017/#StateExams2017
