Record numbers apply to CAO
CAO received a record 73,063 applications
The race for a college place is at its strongest ever after the CAO received a record 73,063 applications. The soaring number of CAO applications reflects record numbers of second-level pupils staying on to sit the Leaving Certificate, as well as a return to education by mature students. And encouragingly, more than nine of out 10 pupils are staying at school to complete their Leaving Certificate, according to a Department of Education study.
