Seanad Éireann notes:
“That we are currently in the midst of a decade of commemoration of the historical events that led to the foundation of the state.
And while the state is articulating the value and premium it places on a younger generation being knowledgeable about that History, they are at the same time carving up History as a Core / Compulsory subject for the Junior Cycle.
And calls on the Minister for Education and Skills to outline what plans she has in place, to maintain History as a compulsory/ core subject for the Junior Cycle.”
