EDUCATION minister Michelle McIlveen has announced a £200,000 investment in GCSE revision resources to support pupils preparing for exams.
It is one element of a range of additional support which has been put in place to support pupils taking public examinations in summer 2022.
Easter revision schemes and the provision of GCSE Maths revision cards, lessons and practice questions are also being offered.
It comes after students in Northern Ireland have faced two years of exams disruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ms McIlveen said: "I am pleased to announce the roll-out of these excellent GCSE revision resources.
"Investment of over £200,000 for eBooks will provide significant support materials to young people as they prepare for their examinations."
All post-primary schools are able to purchase revision eBooks across a wide range of subjects for their pupils undertaking GSCEs with Northern Ireland’s exam regulator CCEA.
Each school will be allocated funding, dependent on Year 12 pupil numbers, to spend on guides.
The revision guides include GCSE english, double and single award science, biology, chemistry, physics, geography, history, digital technology religious studies, food and nutrition.
It comes as exam chiefs said earlier this week that everything will be done to ensure that students sitting exams this summer will not be disadvantaged due to the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic.
Giving evidence to the Stormont Education Committee, representatives from CCEA, said algorithms would not be used in assessing grades when GCSE and A-level exams return.
Instead, they said that examiner judgment would be at the core of the marking process and students will have an option of sitting fewer exams.
Following two years of exams disruption due to the pandemic, Ms McIlveen previously announced that written exams would resume in this academic year.
