In Ireland,

Computer Science has been brought in for Leaving certificate level (A-level
equivalent) and will be examined first in June 2020.

Python (or JS) must be used for both the coursework (30%) and the final
summative exam (70%) on a computer.

For junior levels, the choice of language is free to the teacher in the
coding course.

If you need any extra info, please email me directly and I will try and
help as best I can.
