Teachers in the selected schools will begin working with Oide, the teacher support service, this school year, in advance of teaching the subject.

The Department of Education says all selected Phase One schools will be provided with the necessary resources to establish new subject departments in their schools.

In addition, 43 schools have been selected for the other new Leaving Cert subject of Climate Action and Sustainable Development, but none of these are in Galway.
