So what has changed?
How students are examined for the Junior Cycle will be adjusted again this year because of the impact Covid-19 has had on students and their learning experience.
Some changes most students will see are:
The CBAs
For examination purposes, students must complete a minimum of one CBA in each subject. However, it is up to individual schools and teachers to decide if they want their classes to do more than one.
The Exceptions:
To make sure student's oral communication skills are assessed, students must complete:
- CBA 1: Oral Communication in Modern Foreign Languages
- CBA 2: Communicative Task in Gaeilge.
Students studying the following subjects must also complete CBA 2 as they are linked to the final exam:
- Visual Art
- Home Economics
- Music
- Applied Technology
- Engineering
- Graphics
- Wood Technology
The Assessment Task
As some students may not complete CBA 2 in a number of subjects, there are some subjects where the assessment task will not be examined this year.
