If your child has just finished 6th class then you may have heard of the Education Passport. For those of you with kids starting 6th class this year, here's some information about the passport.
What are Education Passports?
Developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment, (NCCA), the Education Passport "a suite of materials to support the reporting and transfer of pupil information from Primary to Post-Primary schools. The materials are presented under the umbrella title of 'Education Passport' and are available at www.ncca.ie/transfer."
What is the Education Passport comprised of?
The Education Passport comprises of three main learning assessments, completed by Primary schools, to help Post-Primary Schools evaluate students as individuals. The materials in the Education Passport are listed below;
1) Teacher's Report
This is the standard 6th Class Report Card Template, which must be completed by the school.
2) Child's Report
The Primary School will supply the 'My Profile' Sheet, which must be completed by all 6th class pupils and will be shared with their Parents/Guardians upon completion.
3) Parent/Guardian Report
The 'My Child’s Profile' sheet should be sent with the 'My Profile' sheet to parents/guardians by the end of the second week of June at the latest. Parents may complete the My Child’s Profile, should they wish to do so.
Filling out 'My Child's Profile' Sheet
You can view an example of the My Child's Profile Sheet here. The sheet is quite short and simple. Although the My Child's Profile sheet is not a compulsory requirement, it does provide parents with the chance to give voice to who your child really is as an individual.
Who sends the Education Passport to the Secondary School?
Upon confirmation of enrolment, the Primary school will send all relevant materials to the Post-Primary school.
