As part of the broader redevelopment of Senior Cycle, it is envisaged that a revised specification for Leaving Certificate Economics will be introduced in schools from September 2028. The first step by NCCA in the redevelopment of Leaving Certificate Economics was a development of a background paper and brief for the review of our subject.
These documents are now open for public consultation and will be open for consultation until 12th November 2025. You can download this Background Paper & Brief or view it below.
Some branches are having meetings to gather opinions (check our Calendar of Events), but also consider submitting a response yourselves as it is important for teachers to have our voices heard. Please click this link for submission form: Economics Background Paper and Brief Consultation.
If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to email Julie O’Keeffe.
