Who oversees the LCVP implementation in schools?

The Department of Education and Skills in Ireland is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) in schools. This oversight includes setting the curriculum framework, providing guidance on how the program should be delivered, and ensuring that schools adhere to the educational standards and requirements established for the LCVP. By overseeing the program at a national level, the Department ensures consistency and quality in the educational experience offered to students across different schools.

Individual schools and local school boards play important roles in the practical delivery and local administration of the program, but they operate within the framework and guidelines set by the Department. The Ministry of Higher Education would typically be more involved with post-secondary education rather than the secondary education policies which include the LCVP.
