COVID-19 Modification of Curriculum and Assessment Requirements for January 2021
Curriculum and assessment requirements will continue to be modified to a reasonable endeavours basis for the month of January 2021.
The Minister for Education has decided to issue a further modification notice providing schools with continued flexibility while responding to the ongoing issues and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The intention is to resume full curriculum and assessment requirements as soon as appropriate and we continue to keep the situation under review.
