Work on a revised syllabus for Agricultural Science has largely been completed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA). However, the assessment arrangements for the revised syllabus have not yet been finalised as they will have to be considered in the context of the assessment of other senior cycle science subjects, including the introduction of a second assessment component. The NCCA is currently engaging in a public consultation process on revised syllabuses for Leaving Certificate Physics, Chemistry and Biology prior to submitting its advice to my Department.
