Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 May 2017
112. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of secondary schools by county that will roll out the junior certificate schools programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23372/17]
View answerThe Junior Certificate School Programme (JCSP) is particularly targeted at junior cycle (lower secondary) students who are identified as being at risk of early school leaving, perhaps without completing the Junior Certificate.
The breakdown of schools offering the JCSP, by county, for the 2016/2017 school year is in the following table. There are a small number of special schools that also offer the programme. Finalised figures for special schools for 2016 are not yet available.
