Draft NCCA LC CS specification - CESI response submission

[John Hegarty]

As part of the public consultation of the draft LC CS specification (attached) due to go into effect in September 2027, CESI, as the TPN for LC CS, will be submitting a response based on the attached template. 

We would welcome suggestions for consideration, both in support or critical of changes. Have you any concerns about concepts added or removed from the spec., any concerns around available resources, need for CPD etc? 

Please remember that we are all free to make individual submissions too using the online form here https://ncca.ie/en/senior-cycle/curriculum-developments/computer-science/ The deadline for submissions is November 26th. 

Kate Molloy (CESI co-chair), Helen O'Kelly and I represented CESI at the recent consultation event in TUS Athlone which proved a good opportunity for discussion. 

If you have points for discussion, please respond publicly here or by direct message to Helen or myself. 

Thanks

Hi John,

It was indeed a very good opportunity and I too was in attendance at TUS and have already logged in my views.

Hi John,

Thanks for this, i think similar to any other practical subject it might be of use for their to be a classroom spec for the course or at least a spec for equipment. While many schools have IT rooms/ facilities having this allows the subject to secure funding more easily to have a level playing field across the subject at senior cycle. Even if this is things such as storage for project work for ALT4 for example.

I'd love to hear other thoughts in this area.

Regards

Will
