Congratulations to Ms Gordon who has recently been appointed to the incoming National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) by the Minister of Education and Skills for a three year term.
Ms Gordon explains that "this is a very exciting time for Irish Education as the NCCA reviews Senior Cycle and I look forward to making a contribution to the debate.
