The Junior Certificate Schools Programme is a national programme sponsored by the Department of Education and Skills and the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment. It is based on the belief that all young people are capable of achieving real success in school, and that they can have a positive experience of education, if the conditions are favourable. The Programme is designed to help young people who have had a difficult experience of school. It provides students with opportunities for success at school and it rewards that success with an official record of achievement, validated by the Department of Education and Skills. Students who follow the JCSP Programme complete the same Junior Certificate examinations as those who are not enrolled on the JCSP programme.
