Last November the committee gave consideration to the new junior cycle student award, JCSA, on foot of presentations from the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland, ASTI, the Irish Human Rights Commission, IHRC, and the Irish Heart Foundation. At an earlier meeting we considered the place of history in the junior cycle. I welcome the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Quinn, to brief the committee on the status of the implementation of the JCSA.
