Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality
Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Barry Slattery:
It has not been consulted on the new curriculum because that is only going for consultation next week. As part of the development of the curriculum, a background paper was produced. Ms Honan visited a number of schools. We reviewed the existing syllabus and engaged directly with students in the schools we were working with in the consultation on the background paper. The same will happen when we have our consultation on the draft specification. We will return to schools and talk to students, teachers and school leaders and we will invite the ISSU to participate in that. The ISSU is part of our governance structure now as well.
