It’s reported Ruairi Quinn will scrap the state exam format, in favour of a system which will see teachers continually assessing their own students over three years.

They’ll also mark their exams at the end of the cycle.

The plan will introduce standardised tests in numeracy and English reading from 2014, and in science from 2016.
