Senior Cycle Redevelopment – Tranche One Subjects
In Tranche 1 of the subject reviews, seven existing Leaving Certificate subjects have been redeveloped and two new subjects have been designed.
Consultation on Ancient Greek, Arabic, Biology, Chemistry, Latin, and Physics is now complete. The Development Groups for each of these subjects will reconvene in March 2024 to consider the feedback from the consultations and to finalise the subject specifications. Climate Action and Sustainable Development, and Drama, Film and Theatre Studies, which are new Senior Cycle subjects, and a new draft specification for Business, are open for consultation until 5th April 2024.
All nine subject specifications will be introduced in schools in September 2025.
Information on the specifications and the consultation can be found here.
