Ireland reads Day 25th February |
President Higgins has published a message of support to the “Ireland Reads” campaign.
The campaign, which brings together Irish libraries with publishers, booksellers, authors and others, aims to encourage people to re-discover the joy of reading. It is part of the government ‘Keep Well’ initiative and celebrates reading and all the benefits it can have for people’s wellbeing and enjoyment. In his message, President Higgins said that “books have played, and continue to play, probably an inordinate role, in my own life. Books are a great friend.” While libraries are not currently open for borrowing or borrowing due to Covid-19 public health restrictions, library members can use library services online to access thousands of e-Books and audio books. The President said that “libraries are the oxygen of public life, and most important are the library staff who have, over the years, created an atmosphere for generations of Irish children, women and men.” |

Revised Assessment Arrangements for ExamsThis document sets out the adjusted assessment arrangements for post-primary students taking certificate examinations in the 2020/21 school year. These arrangements are designed to take account of the disrupted learning experienced by students during the 2019/20 school year. The adjustments have been arrived at through discussions between the Department of Education and Skills (DES), the State Examinations Commission (SEC) and the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) and key stakeholders.
As schools have significant autonomy in determining how to sequence and pace learning for students in their schools, no centrally prescribed adjustment of the curriculum and courses of study would be effective for students taking the certificate examinations in 2021. Consequently, the most appropriate way to reflect and take account of the challenges for students that have occurred in 2019/20 and may occur in 2020/21 is to incorporate adjustments to the certificate examinations in 2021. Overall, the changes can be viewed as reflecting and recognising a loss of learning time in the 2019/20 school year in a fair manner, with some contingency for future learning loss that may occur during the 2020/21 school year also built in. They provide clarity, certainty and reassurance to students, their parents/guardians, teachers and schools in advance of the start of the 2020/2021 school year. |
