Overview:
PPLI supports the provision of Portuguese Language through Transition Year and Online Leaving Certificate
classes.
Main Aims:
Leaving Certificate Classes are one of the variety of options for introducing lesser taught languages which are
being piloted. Students sitting their Leaving Certificate in 2023 will be the first cohort to have completed this
course.
Activity:
The Leaving Certificate Online classes are in their second year, and we have seen an increase of 75% in the
number of students registered. Numbers will continue to rise in the coming years with further dissemination.
These classes allow students to access the Leaving Certificate Portuguese course regardless of where they are
living and what school they attend.
PPLI work in collaboration with H2 Learning to implement this course. PPLI also liaise with the relevant
embassies to promote and disseminate the opportunities for the teaching and learning of Portuguese.
35 Students from 27 different schools enrolled in online Leaving Certificate classes.
