Disappointing announcement from CCEA phasing out GCSE and A-Level German. If you share these concerns, please consider signing the petition below. I will be raising the issue at the 1st Education Committee meeting in Sept.

U-turn from Health & Education Ministers reinstating special school summer schemes! After @allianceparty recall Assembly, within hours nursing cover is agreed. Clearly a solution was there but Health and Ed Ministers just sat back and let them be cancelled

Vital we get accountability on cancellation of summer schemes in special schools. Scrutiny should not be dodged on an issue causing parents and families distress. Education and Health Ministers have failed to collaborate in the best interests of children amd must provide answers

I have raised major issues with nursing in special schools for over 2 years and this clearly extends to summer schemes. Health and Education ministers failed to plan to ensure schemes can be delivered safely. They must urgently produce a plan to reverse this disastrous outcome

Alliance Party @allianceparty Mar 26

Alliance Education spokesperson @NickDMathison has called on the Education and Health Ministers to act urgently to secure a joint funding package that will allow summer schemes to run in special schools this year.

Big day for P7s- those who took the SEAG test and those who didn't. Our kids have bright futures regardless of their score in a test- high time we had a serious public conversation about how we can do post-primary transfer differently
