JCSP

JCSP has been successfully running in Ringsend College for many years.
The aim of the JCSP is to provide a fresh approach to the Junior Certificate Programme for potential early school leavers who are struggling to cope with secondary school. It is an intervention for these students based on the concept that all students are capable of achieving real success in school.

The JCSP seeks to retain students in school through addressing factors that are linked to early school leaving. This is based on the premise that if students can be given an experience of success while at school they are more likely to remain in school, at least until they have completed their Junior Certificate examinations.

The JCSP aims to provide a curriculum framework that assists schools and teachers in making the Junior Certificate more accessible to those students who may leave school without formal qualifications. It attempts to help students experience success and develop a positive self-image by providing a curriculum and assessment framework suitable to their needs. On completion of the programme students receive a profile which is an official record of their achievements, validated by the Department of Education and Skills.
