The Senior Certificate Project Report

The Senior Certificate: A New Deal is a detailed and technical report based on extensive research and consultations about a range of complex and intersecting issues. It is thus, of necessity, a large report. We recognise that there will be different levels of engagement with the report and have therefore divided the information into five levels for ease of access by the reader, depending on the depth and level of detail required.

The recommendations and supporting discussion in this report are for consideration by the Minister for Education. At the time of release they do not constitute government policy.
