In light of today's press release regarding the Junior Cycle, the Minister for Education has now issued a set of Guidelines on Assessment and Reporting for schools. All assessment for Junior Cycle will now be concluded by the end of May. 'In 2020, the Junior Cycle learning achievement of students will be recognised through a specific form of certification designed to meet the current, exceptional circumstances presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. For each student, certification will involve two elements: • A State Certificate of completion of Junior Cycle from the Department of Education and Skills. Students should receive a State Certification that they have completed three years of Junior Cycle education in a number of subjects. This certification will be provided by the Department of Education and Skills. • A School Report setting out the learning achievements of students in Junior Cycle. Students should receive a written report on the broad range of learning that they have achieved in each subject at the end of Junior Cycle. This assessment of their learning will be provided by their teachers. Schools will have autonomy in how this assessment is to be arrived at and the format in which the report is provided.' Further information regarding Junior Cycle assessment and reporting will be communicated via the app and through the various subjects on Google Classroom over the coming days.
