Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality

Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Emer Neville:

On where the ISSU fits in with the work of the NCCA, we were recently appointed to a seat on the NCCA. We are meeting with it today. We hope to be heavily involved in the new design of the curriculum and to get some members onto the different boards and subcommittees of the NCCA so students are in the room when these curricula are being designed and the thought process is there.

In addition to that, we will be doing our own report on senior cycle that will cover RSE. We have the statistics from students and will use them to lobby the Minister for Education, the NCCA and other relevant bodies to ensure the student voice is there and included throughout the entire process.
