Schools and Curriculum

Combat Poverty believed that learning about poverty by students and teachers is an important way of creating awareness about poverty and building public support to eliminate it. Over the years our schools and curriculum work promoted poverty awareness amongst second-level students and teachers. Our education work included:

• Ireland - A Level Playing Pitch? a Transition Year Unit validated by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment
• Participation in the Young Social Innovators programme
• A website www.cspe.ie
• Counted Out, a teacher's resource for Civic, Social and Political Education
• Fair Shares, an educational resource on poverty
• Poverty the Curriculum and the Classroom, a project based in the City of Dublin Vocational Committee Curriculum Development Unit (CDU) - for further information see the CDU's website www.curriculum.ie
