Question:

61 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Education and Science when the revised syllabus for leaving certificate art will be introduced; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13184/06]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment, NCCA, has prepared a revised syllabus for leaving certificate art.

Implementation of this syllabus will require very significant funding in terms of the resources and facilities required by schools to deliver the syllabus, and also in terms of the professional development needs of teachers, and is therefore being looked at in a well-considered way.

Question No. 62 answered with QuestionNo. 38.
