The Entitlement Framework
Every pupil in every mainstream post-primary school at Key Stage 4 (Year 11 and 12) and Post-16 (Year 13 and 14) needs to be able to choose from a wide range of courses across all Areas of Learning. This is part of the Entitlement Framework. More information, including a leaflet called Your Child’s Choice, is available on the Department of Education website.
