Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 January 2014
276. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will consider adding a subject entitled politics and society to the senior education cycle; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3949/14]
View answerI am very pleased to give the Deputy an update on Politics and Society. I have decided to include Politics and Society within the suite of subjects available to schools in the Leaving Certificate.
In the last fortnight, I wrote to the NCCA about this and have sought their advice on a number of issues which need to be addressed before the subject can be made available.
