History

NCCA advises the Minister for Education on curriculum and assessment for early childhood education, for primary and post-primary schools. As part of the broader redevelopment of senior cycle, it is envisaged that a revised specification for Leaving Certificate History will be introduced in schools from September 2027. The Development Group for Leaving Certificate History will have a key role in this work. The group includes nominees of the education partners and other key education agencies.

Below you will find information on the subject development work including the background paper and brief for the review for this subject, and a note from each of the development group meetings.
