Publication of Primary Consultation Reports

As part of the redevelopment of the Primary School Curriculum, NCCA consulted on the Draft Primary Curriculum Specifications in Arts Education; Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) in the Primary Language Curriculum; Social and Environmental Education (SEE); Science, Technology and Engineering Education (STE); and Wellbeing from March 6th to June 7th 2024.  

A significant amount of feedback was gathered during the consultation from a wide range of stakeholders. Participants contributed through a variety of methods, including focus groups, bilateral meetings, consultative conference, Schools Networks, questionnaires and written submissions. Children from schools across the country were also consulted with. All the feedback was subsequently analysed using methodologies appropriate to the type of feedback, leading to the publication of the two consultation reports which are now available.
