Brexit: All you need to know about the UK leaving the EU

The UK stopped being a member of the European Union (EU) after 23:00 GMT on 31 January 2020.

For those not following every twist and turn, this is what you need to know.

What is Brexit?

Brexit - British exit - refers to the UK leaving the EU.

A public vote (known as a referendum) was held in June 2016, when 17.4 million people opted for Brexit. This gave the Leave side 52%, compared with 48% for Remain.

What is the European Union?

The EU is an economic and political union involving 28 European countries. It allows free trade, which means goods can move between member countries without any checks or extra charges. The EU also allows free movement of people, to live and work in whichever country they choose.

The UK joined in 1973 (when it was known as the European Economic Community) and it will be the first member state to withdraw.

What happens after Brexit day?

After the UK formally leaves the EU on 31 January 2020, there is still a lot to talk about and months of negotiation will follow.

While the UK has agreed the terms of its EU departure, both sides still need to decide what their future relationship will look like.

This will be worked out during the transition period (which some prefer to call the implementation period), which begins immediately after Brexit day and is due to end on 31 December 2020.

During this 11-month period, the UK will continue to follow all of the EU's rules and its trading relationship will remain the same.

• UK-EU trade talks: A simple guide
• Seven things that will change after Brexit day

What needs to be agreed?

The transition period is meant to give both sides some breathing space while a new free trade agreement is negotiated.

This is needed because the UK will leave the single market and customs union at the end of the transition. A free trade agreement allow goods to move around the EU without checks or extra charges.

If a new one cannot be agreed in time, then the UK faces the prospect of having to trade with no deal in place. That would mean tariffs (taxes) on UK goods travelling to the EU and other trade barriers.

Aside from trade, many other aspects of the future UK-EU relationship will also need to be decided. For example:

• Law enforcement, data sharing and security
• Aviation standards and safety
• Access to fishing waters
• Supplies of electricity and gas
• Licensing and regulation of medicines

Prime Minister Boris Johnson insists the transition period will not be extended, but the European Commission has warned that the timetable will be extremely challenging.

• Brexit: What happens next?

What is the Brexit deal?

The transition period and other aspects of the UK's departure were agreed in a separate deal called the withdrawal agreement.

Most of that was negotiated by Theresa May's government. But after Mr Johnson replaced her in July 2019, he removed the most controversial part - the backstop.

Irish Education System

Our language assisstant, Johnny, gave a presentation about the Education System in Ireland and it was really interesting! We learned a lot!

General Information on the Irish High School System

The Irish High School System (called Secondary School) is divided into two cycles:

• Junior Cycle which lasts for 3 years (for students from age 12)
• Senior Cycle which lasts for a further 3 years (for students from age 15)
   

The Junior Cycle is non-specialised and students usually take between 9 and 13 subjects per school year. At the end of this three-year cycle the Junior Cycle finishes with a State Examination called the Junior Certificate.

The first year of the Senior Cycle is called Transition Year (TY). It is a combination of academic, vocational and personal/social development.

TY is designed to give students, usually aged 15-16 years, the tools necessary to make informed choices about their future study and possible university or other Third Level choices.

The final two years of the Senior Cycle constitute a two-year study program which leads to another State Examination called the Leaving Certificate. This examination is both, an exit exam from school and a university entrance exam.

The curriculum for both cycles - Junior Cycle and Senior Cycle - is set down by the Irish Department of Education as follows:

Junior Cycle (aged 12-15 years)

• English, French, German, Spanish, Italian
• Irish, Latin, Greek
• Classical Studies, Music
• Mathematics
• History, Geography
• Business Studies Science, Technology, Home Economics
• Technical Graphics, Metalwork, Materials Technology(Wood)
• Typewriting
• Art, Craft & Design
• Environment & Social Studies, Social Personal & Health Education
• Civic, Social & Political Education
• Religious Education

leading to: Junior Certificate

Senior Cycle (aged 15-18 years)

• English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Japanese
• Irish, Latin, Ancient Greek
• Classical Studies
• History, Geography
• Mathematics, Applied Mathematics
• Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Physics & Chemistry
• Agricultural Economics, Engineering
• Design & Communication, Graphics, Construction Studies
• Accounting, Economics, Business Home Economics
• Art, Music 
• Religious Education

leading to: Leaving Certificate

Please note that no school offers the complete range of subject and the usual number of subjects offered per high school is approx. 16 subjects.

Sample Transition modules include: Debating, Public Speaking, Enterprise, Work Experience and a wide variety of additional modules which vary depending on the specific school.
