History has never been a mandatory subject in secondary school and has always been optional in about half of schools. In practice, however, more than 90 per cent of pupils at junior cycle study history.
“I have given it full consideration over the last two months, as well as taking on board the views of many people I meet on a daily basis who dedicate their lives and careers to education and to nurturing the minds of young people.” “I am seeking the support of the NCCA to examine how best that can be achieved and their expertise to design a special core status for history within the new junior cycle to meet the request.”
