N.Ireland abolishes 11+ exam

The 11 plus exam is to be abolished in Northern Ireland, Education Minister Caitriona Ruane has announced.
The exams, which determine which primary children will go to grammar school, will take place for the final time next year.
The tests were criticised as being outdated, unnecessary and unjust, and failing children.
Under new proposals children will make choices about their education at the age of 14.
