Politics and Society
A Collection of Resources to Support Politics & Society - by Scoilnet
Introducing the Subject
The new subject was first introduced in September 2016 to 41 schools participating in an initial subject pilot. The subject assessment consists of a final written examination worth 80% of the marks and a coursework component, a Citizenship Project Report to be completed under the supervision of the class teacher, worth 20% of the marks available for the subject. The Citizenship Project titles are common to Higher and Ordinary Level.
Sample Papers: Higher Level Ordinary Level
Learning Paths
A Learning Path is a feature on Scoilnet that enables teachers to select and organise resources from the Scoilnet site into a sequence and share it with their peers or students.
Each Learning Path generates a unique url that can be easily shared or posted on the school website or blog. Learning Paths are also available as PDF.

New Collection
Politics & Society teacher, Grainne McKeever, has shared her series of podcasts with an accompanying resource pack. She hopes the pack will inspire some future philosophers, whether in the fields of law, politics, sociology, economics, anthropology, or at the very least give you some interesting food for thought.
