Our association along with others and our members have been highlighting this for several years. Unfortunately we have had no real engagement on the issue that continues to affect our students. #jchist #histchatie
Junior Cyle grade system needs to change

The current JC grading system makes no sense. Only about 3% of students get Distinction (90% +) whereas 15% or more LC students get H1 (90%) in the same subject.
Teachers have complained about Junior Cycle grades for years. Good to see students speaking up, hope the new Minister for Ed & her Dept will listen to them. #edchatie It's really demotivating': Students campaign to change new Junior Cycle grading system https://t.co/4ZRRGKTXeM

It’s official, the 1926 census will be released on April 18, 2026. This is a long awaited announcement for many historians, amateur and professional alike. It’ll also offer another option for a digital archive for LO 1.8 #jchist #histchatie

Public launches are being planned in Ireland, the UK and the US by the Government for the historic release of census records from 100 years ago next year.

5th Year History hosted an Anglo-Irish Treaty dinner party this morning. Place settings were very interesting as were the things we possibly overheard between the attendees. #History #histchatie #edchatie

So, we've just passed 25,000 names from the 1821 Census of Ireland available in the Virtual Treasury. Freely available to researchers, 24/7, anywhere in the 🌍. Nice... 😀
