Laois leaving cert students to study climate change

Laois leaving cert students will soon be able to study Climate Change and Sustainable Development. 

The move was welcomed by Minister Pippa Hackett, who said the education system needs to be able to respond to the challenges.  

“Well done to those teachers willing to upskill in these areas and to those schools applying for inclusion in the pilot to start in 2024. We need our education system to respond to the challenges of climate, social justice and biodiversity loss. I look forward to these subjects developing similar skills to that of the very successful Politics and Society subject,” she said.
