The demonstration library in St Aidan's Community School, Brookfield, Tallaght, is an outstanding resource that will provide a critical tool in addressing the students' literacy needs, according to the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills, Mary Coughlan TD.
The Demonstration Libraries Project was established in 2001, when the Department of Education and Skills set up eleven libraries in schools participating in the Junior Certificate School Programme (JCSP).
The JCSP operates as an intervention at Junior Cycle for students, who for a variety of reasons, have experienced difficulties in school and are considered to be at risk of leaving school early.
It provides a curriculum framework which assists schools and teachers in adopting a student-centred approach to education.
The Programme gives students enhanced opportunities to engage with the curriculum and to achieve success at school.
