NEU NI believes that all children need a hot healthy meal at lunchtime. We will be campaigning to make this a reality in NI schools!! #NEU2024 #HealthyEating

April is Sexual Assault Awareness month- our #LetUsLearn report highlighted the devastating impact a lack of education on this topic is having in fuelling sexism and sexual harassment It starts with a conversation It changes with education Grateful to speak on this @irish_news
This is partly because RSE does not belong in LLW. There has been such lack of clarity in NI about the difference between PSHE (understanding the self) and Citizenship (understanding society & wider world). So this in many cases has been muddled together in a lesson called LLW ☹️

The transfer test is perpetuating elitism in the education system. My child is 4 and I have lost count of the number of people who have asked me which secondary school she will be going to. We have lost the run of ourselves!

Politicians of Northern Ireland, why should young people vote? My fab @UlsterUni Journalism first year student @Journalist_Lowe needs to interview a current politician tomorrow (email or phone) on the importance of voting, for an assignment. Who can help him out?
