About Us

Welcome to the Junior Certificate School Programme Literacy and Numeracy Strategy Website. We hope that you will find all kinds of useful materials and ideas here to use in your second level classroom.

The Junior Certificate School Programme is a national programme sponsored by the Department of Education and Science and the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment. It originated in the early school leavers’ programmes initiated by the Curriculum Development Unit. Currently the programme is operating in over 240 schools throughout the country. The JCSP provides schools with a framework of support for students and provides a range of materials, resources and interventions that teachers find practical and useful in thier classrooms.
