Education Minister Launches New Online Resource
Minister for Education and Skills, Jan O'Sullivan TD, has launched a new online resource for teachers and students of Leaving Certificate Business and Economics.
The resource, BusinessEducation.ie, has been developed by the Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI), in conjunction with the Business Studies Teachers Association of Ireland (BSTAI).
The website provides a number of learning resources for use by teachers and students in the classroom or at home.
Minister O'Sullivan said: "BusinessStudies.ie is a great new resource for students and teachers which will no doubt be of immense value throughout the school year and in preparation for exams.
"The study of business and economics by our students is vital to developing the future health of our country's economy and I commend both BPFI and the BSTAI in working to produce this resource and would encourage all business teachers and students to use and take advantage of the support it provides."
