I have established a group of education partners to discuss and support implementation of the Framework for Junior Cycle. Bodies representing second level teachers are members of this group as well as representatives from the National Parents Councils at primary and post-primary levels. It is intended that the group will continue to meet regularly over the 8 year phasing in period of the revised Junior Cycle.
The Group has already met a number of times, most recently, this morning.
