Opportunity is not.

"Until we get equality in education, we won't have an equal society."  Sonya Sotomayor

At JumpAgrade, we empower young people to overcome barriers to education. With support from our partners, we work with schools in underserved communities, providing subidised afterschool tuition and guidance.

Why we Exist – bridging the Inequality gaps

The Progression Gap

Students from affluent backgrounds are up to 14 times more likely to progress to university with just 5% of students from under-served communities attending Ireland's highest ranking universities.

The Attainment Gap

Studies show that students from more affluent backgrounds achieve 140 CAO points more on average. This leads to a lack of representation in fields like medicine (5%), economics (2%), business (7%), law (10%), and politics (7%).

The Opportunity Gap

60% of Leaving Certificate students avail of expensive additional tuition (grinds), private schools, Gaeltacht trips, etc with an average of 24,000 of senior cycle students locked out of these opportunities every year.

Student Feedback

Hear from our students about their experiences.

"My teacher has been a great help for me this year and has helped me with my worst subject, maths. She's incredibly kind, understanding and unafraid to push me when I need it! I went from failing exams to passing all thanks to the work she's done."

"I never thought I could improve so much in such a short time!"

"Thank you so much, you were quite literally the difference between me failing chemistry and maths and getting a H2/H3. I loved your energy and your genuine vested interest in understanding of the subject. Thank you!"

"The encouragement I received was invaluable to my success."

"Thank you so much for being such a kind and supportive teacher. Chemistry is a hard subject, but you explain things in a way that makes it clear and interesting. You're always patient, encouraging, and never make me feel bad for asking questions. I've learned a lot from you and really enjoy our lessons."

"My chemistry teacher was an absolute angel, I've gone from a H6 average to a H4/H3 average and I could not have done it without her!"
