We have introduced coding and Chinese as courses for the new junior cycle. We will set new targets for literacy and numeracy improvement, with a particular focus on improving reading and maths levels in disadvantaged schools. Our aim will be to keep Ireland in the top 5 countries in the OECD for reading, and to make sure we are in the top 10 countries for maths and science by 2020.
