There were smiles from the small number of students who completed Junior Cert. Greek yesterday afternoon. Only 51 students registered for the exam. Mr Daniel O'Connor, a teacher of Greek at John Scottus School in Dublin, said the higher-level paper was "well received" by his students. The paper was "very fair" and proffered "nothing out of the ordinary".
It "would reward the good student who had done the work", he said, and was in the same mould as previous papers.
Question 7, which asked about the women's role in ancient Greece, was "appropriate" for his class of seven girls (see photo).
