Continuous assessment will become a key part of Leaving Cert exams under major reforms announced this afternoon.
40% of exam marks in all subjects will be by continuous assessment with written exam deciding the rest.
The curricula for all subjects will be reviewed with new syllabus starting in 2024.
Two new subjects will also be created - 'Drama, Film and Theatre Studies'; and 'Climate Action and Sustainable Development'.
Paper one in English and Irish will now be taken at the end of fifth year for students starting with those entering senior cycle in September 2023.
