THE MINISTER FOR Education Ruairi Quinn has announced that the Junior Cert is being renamed called the Junior Cycle Student Award.
It’s an… er… interesting choice.
Here are some of the images it conjures up:
An award for correctly learning cycling hand signals
An award for any kind of cycling proficiency
Another name for the Gaisce Award
You went on a two day hike, you helped an old lady with her shopping, and you crocheted a bag for carrying spuds.
Congratulations, here’s your Junior Cycle Student Award.
An award which will definitely be presented in an assembly hall that smells like feet
An award with a certificate definitely designed using Microsoft Publisher
An award with a certificate bearing your name in calligraphy
That calligraphy was DEFINITELY done by the school secretary.
An exam poorly disguised as an award
