Education update

This week’s education debacle update…The consultation on the (post-primary) Transfer 2010 guidelines closed. Minister Ruane to face potential legal challenge on the Equality Impact assessment…Children’s Commissioner barely contains exasperation in reminding both Minister and Executive that there are real pupils and families left in limbo…more gossip about tests and non-tests…no-one really knows what will happen.

In other words the song remains the same - repetitive, slanging, sung in political and religious trenches. It’s nice to see that children’s lives and future potential are being so carefully considered.

Primary Six pupil’s parents are considering copyrighting the phrase “political football”.
