Junior Certificate School Programme (JCSP)

The Junior Certificate Schools Programme is an intervention into the Junior Cycle and not an alternative to The JCSP Programme.

The JCSP Programme attempts to help young people experience success and develop a positive self-image by providing a curriculum and assessment framework suitable to their needs.

The programme aims to ensure that students actively participate in their learning, make progress and build on their achievements. The programme also aims to develop students’ literacy, numeracy, communication and group work skills.

On completion of the programme, students receive a profile which is an official record of their achievements from the Department of Education and Skills.
