Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2013
491. Deputy Dominic Hannigan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the procedure for a new poet being accepted to the English syllabus of the junior certificate; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17660/13]
View answerThe current Junior Certificate syllabus does not prescribe specific texts or poets for study. It is based on the idea of an 'open course' where teachers can choose the poetry and other texts they wish to include in their course to meet the learning objectives involved.
