Have your say on the Draft Primary Curriculum Specifications

As part of the redevelopment of the Primary School Curriculum, NCCA is now consulting on five 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 (STE) Education; and Wellbeing from March to June 2024.  

The consultation includes gathering feedback from children, working with schools networks, online and in-person focus groups, online questionnaires, written submissions, bilateral meetings and a consultation conference. 

Here are some of the ways you can get involved and have your say: 

·        Focus Group Events: Online and in-person focus groups will take place for teachers, school leaders and parents. The in-person focus groups will take place across the country.  

·        Questionnaires: There are two online questionnaires, one for education professionals and one for parents. Each should take no more than ten minutes to complete. 

·        Written submissions: Individuals, groups and organisations are invited to make an online written submission on one or more of the Draft Primary Curriculum Specifications.  

NCCA would love to hear your feedback and input. For more information on the consultation and how you can get involved, please visit our dedicated consultation page.
