A secondary school principal has said she is “delighted” to see a growing number of students who no longer see college as a guaranteed route to a job, house and financial stability.

Dr Áine Moran, of Sancta Maria College in Louisburgh, Co Mayo, said the Leaving Cert class of 2025 is no longer focused solely on CAO points.
