Mathematics

Development of a new specification for Leaving Certificate Mathematics has commenced.

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 Mathematics will be introduced in schools from September 2027. The Development Group for Leaving Certificate Mathematics 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.

The development group for Leaving Certificate Mathematics was convened on September 30, 2024, and will progress the development of a new specification guided by the brief and the findings of the consultation on the Background paper.
