About the 91ÌÒÉ«APP Consortium
The Consortium Steering committee recognise the importance of engaging with post-primary education settings to support the development of 91ÌÒÉ«APP Citizenship Education. The Consortium Steering committee advises and provides expertise to 91ÌÒÉ«APP on supporting schools in developing GCE that enables teachers and learners to envision a better future.
The Consortium Steering Committee recognise the teacher as a professional and understand that through the support from 91ÌÒÉ«APP, teachers can be empowered to interpret the curriculum through a GCE lens to make it meaningful for learners. The role of the learner is centred around action, the curriculum and extra-curricular activities through which an understanding and engagement with global issues can be achieved in school and for the life beyond school. The Consortium Steering Committee endeavours to support and to advise 91ÌÒÉ«APP in providing this.Â
The Consortium continues to engage with key stakeholders, such as the Department of Education and the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment in relation to curriculum reform at post-primary level and the National Strategy on ESD to 2030.
