Based on recent research reports, a need has been identified for an increased focus on the middle phase of learning, i.e. learning in early adolescence including the transition from primary to secondary education. The Ministerial Advisory Committee for Educational Renewal provided advice to the Minister for Education on a range of matters including: the curriculum implications and policy considerations associated with adopting a middle phase of schooling; innovative ways to improve student achievements in the middle years; providing continuous support to students through different stages of learning; specific strategies for students at risk of leaving school early; and strengthening links between primary and secondary schools.
