Schoolbooks Scheme for Junior Cycle in Post-Primary Schools

The new Junior Cycle Schoolbooks Scheme, introduced for the 2024/25 school year, will remove the cost from families of funding schoolbooks, including eBooks, and core classroom resources for all Junior Cycle students in post-primary schools in the Free Education Scheme.

This will include books, workbooks, copies, calculators and materials for various subjects. Families will only have to provide pens, pencils and pencil cases.

Funding under the Junior Cycle Schoolbooks Scheme does not extend to including the purchase of digital devices by schools. However, schools may use the funding for digital media support, which relates to teaching and learning within curricular requirements as outlined in the guidance.

All schoolbooks remain the property of the school and are on loan to students.
