JMB Education Conference 2021

A Senior Cycle for All: Pathway Possibilities - Progression for All - Pandemic Learnings

JMB Education Conference 2021

Online Event, from ‘The Studio’, Croke Park
Thursday November 4th, 9.30am – 12.50pm
 

The Leaving Certificate Examination was established almost a century ago, in 1924. The NCCA’s Advisory Report on the Senior Cycle Review opens-up an important national conversation on the purposes, pathways, and progression opportunities a contemporary senior cycle framework could look like and sets out the essential conditions and a roadmap underpinning such a vital reform.

The JMB and many of its schools have been closely involved in the Review’s consultation and development process and our annual Education Conference presents an opportunity to stimulate the conversation across our sector. With school and system level contributors from a range of perspectives, we intend this online event to be an engaging and inspiring experience for school leaders, teachers, and all concerned with the future of education in Ireland.
