Climate Action and Drama, Theatre and Film Studies to be added as Leaving Cert subjects from next year

"These subjects will offer students a new learning experience and avenue to demonstrate their talents and develop key competencies," Minister Foley said.

"The review will also see updates made to seven existing subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Business, Ancient Greek, Arabic and Latin."

"Students will be empowered to build their understanding of a number of interconnected core concepts and principles related to climate action and sustainable development."

"As part of the subject, students will take part in visits and outdoor learning, including local ecosystem projects, campaigning on sustainability issues and community outreach."
