Junior Cycle Schoolbook Scheme

/0 Comments/in /by

Following the release of the procurement guidelines for the Junior Cycle Free Book Scheme, we wanted to reach out and extend our full support to you and your school community as you engage with this new funding model.

Here are five key takeaways to simplify the detail, and how Educate.ie can help.

  • Funding Allocation: Funding can be used for schoolbooks and educational resources, but not student devices. We are delighted to confirm that Educate.ie has the widest range and choice of schoolbooks for Junior Cycle of any publisher with textbooks published in 19 subjects.
  • Definition of “Schoolbooks”: “Schoolbooks” means textbooks, ebooks, workbooks, novels, plays and examination papers. Educate.ie can supply you with printed textbooks, ebooks or workbooks as required. We have the largest range of published Junior Cycle plays; and can supply you with examination papers. Simplify your procurement process by purchasing from us.
  • Schools’ Discretion: “Schools have the discretion to choose the books and resources that best meet the needs of their students.” Educate.ie has a huge number of market-leading, up-to-date titles for Junior Cycle, many of which are likely already in use in your school. We offer an unrivalled range of option subjects, languages, and core textbooks; so we are confident we can meet the needs of your students, not to mention the printed and digital resources we offer for your staff.
  • Grant Funding: “For the 2024/25 school year the grant funding is set at a rate of €309 per student in year 1, 2 and 3 of the Junior Cycle. This provides for the cost of all schoolbooks and the cost of classroom resources.” We are happy to confirm that we will fit our pricing within your funding… and yes, we know there needs to be plenty left over for copybooks and calculators!
  • Payment Timeline: “It is envisaged that the book grant for the Junior Cycle Schoolbooks Scheme will be paid to schools no later than 31 March 2024 so that schools will have the necessary funding in place to implement the scheme in advance of the commencement of the 2024/25 school year.” All of our textbooks are printed and ready to go for the coming school year.

Accessing Educate.ie’s Digital Teaching Resources for 2024

/0 Comments/in /by

Educate.ie provides a comprehensive suite of supplementary materials to schools that adopt any of our publications. These resources include planning templates, educational posters, and PowerPoints, all designed to help you make the most of the programme.

With the recent introduction of the new Schoolbook Grant, Educate.ie has revised the process for accessing these resources to align with the latest guidelines from the Department of Education.

To ensure you receive the appropriate materials and gain access to our innovative digital resources, we kindly request that you provide the following documentation, depending on your school type or the specific class/year group you represent:

For Post-Primary Schools (Fee-Paying), covering Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate: Please submit your complete School Booklist for all years that will be distributed to parents for the upcoming school year.

For Post-Primary Schools (Non-Fee Paying) that receive the new Government Schoolbook Grant:

  1. For Junior Cycle – Similar to primary schools, along with the school booklist, proof of purchase for all Educate.ie titles desired must be submitted. (A copy of an invoice or a copy of a PO from the Bookshop is required. Direct purchases from Educate.ie do not require further documentation.)
  2. For Leaving Certificate – Please provide your full School Booklist for all years that will be sent to parents for the upcoming school year.

For Primary Schools: Along with the school booklist, proof of purchase for any Educate.ie titles you wish to access is required. (A copy of an invoice from the Bookshop will suffice. If purchases are made directly from Educate.ie, no additional documentation is necessary.)

When you have all documentation gathered, send it into our team on support@educate.ie with the following information:

  • School Name & Roll Number
  • Full Name
  • Email Address
  • Include all titles and editions in the booklist.
  • Specify book quantities on the purchase documentation.
  • Detail your existing book rental program to clarify your school’s requirements.
  • Cover all class levels to ensure resources are allocated for each group.
