Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth

Curriculum Reform at Senior Cycle: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Humphrey Jones:

I will elaborate on that. The report we submitted to the NCCA on the draft specifications is 200 pages long. The summary report produced by the NCCA on the entirety of all the consultations, both the written submissions from 20 individuals and the online surveys, was less than 19 pages. That summary report was shared with some development groups after the specifications were finalised. At no point did any member of the subject development groups get a chance to dissect that data. Under a freedom of information request, that raw data was made public. The raw data bears zero resemblance to the tone and content of the summary report.
