Senior Cycle Education
The aims of senior cycle emphasise the role it plays in providing continuity with junior cycle, in the personal development of students and in preparing students for the challenges life presents in further and higher education, in the world of work and in citizenship. Emphasis is also placed on the importance of students experiencing a broad, balanced and coherent programme of study across a range of curriculum areas with some opportunities for limited specialisation.
Key Skills
As well as learning knowledge, students need to develop skills that will help them achieve their full potential, both during their time in school and into the future.
