Welcome and thank you for visiting the PDST Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) Site. The PDST LCVP team aims to provide high-quality professional development and support that empowers teachers and schools to provide the best possible education for all pupils/students. The site is designed to give you information about a range of supports and professional developments provided by the PDST. Please feel free to browse through the sections.
IMPORTANT NOTICE 2022-2023A recent announcement from Minister Norma Foley announced details of the planned reform of senior cycle.Arising from this announcement, students starting 5th year in the academic year 2022/2023 may access the LCVP without having to meet the subject-specific criteria. This removes the need to choose two subjects from the designated Vocational Subject Groupings (VSGs) and the need to follow a recognised course in a Modern European Language (other than Irish or English).
A revised programme statement is now available reflecting these changes and can be found at www.curriculumonline.ie/Senior-cycle/Leaving-Certificate-Vocational-Programme-(LCVP)/
Documents providing guidance and information for Leaving Certificate 2022/2023 were recently published by the Department of Education. These documents outline very important information in relation to mediating curriculum and changes to assessment for 2022/2023. The documents offer key information relating to assessment arrangements, final examinations and much more. Full details can be found at https://www.examinations.ie/misc-doc/EN-EX-57529942.pdf |
