The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment have prepared a set of fact sheets about the subjects in junior cycle. They have been designed with sixth class pupils and first year students in mind but parents/guardians will find them useful too. Visit www.ncca.ie for further information.

 

The factsheets presented here were designed to help sixth class pupils and first year students, but are also useful for parents. They provide information about the different subjects available in junior cycle in a colourful and easy-to-read format. Three booklets are presented, Core Subjects, Option Subjects and non examination Subjects.
