The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) is an organization in Ireland responsible for developing and reviewing the national curriculum for schools. It aims to ensure that the curriculum meets the educational needs of students and reflects the values of society. The NCCA works with teachers, parents, and other stakeholders to create guidelines and resources that support effective teaching and learning. In addition to curriculum development, the NCCA also assesses student learning and provides recommendations for improvements in education. It plays a crucial role in shaping educational policies and practices, helping to prepare students for future challenges in a rapidly changing world.
