Great to see our recent video 'Youth Voices Under Occupation' directed by @ErikaFJimenez is now available in Gaeilge/Irish thanks to community and language activist Caoimhe Ní Choinn who does incredible Irish-language youth work at @foramnanog. Thanks also to community and youth organisation @GlorNaMona for engaging with this research on #Palestine.

What a beautiful tribute to my wee Daddy in today's Irish News 'Lives Remembered' section by Maria Gough. There are no truer words than, 'Though I've left you with a heart that's been torn.' ❤️🙏 Yet, it's still so hard to believe. 🥹💔

No details, No Plan, No Timeline… we learned nothing new today from @paulgivan (apart from intention to reduce classrooms assistants).
Education Minister @paulgivan has today announced his programme for reforming the provision of support for children with special educational needs.
The Minister’s Special Educational Needs Reform Agenda and associated five-year delivery plan have been developed following completion of a comprehensive review of policy and delivery.

After he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, Albert Camus wrote a letter of thanks to his favorite childhood teacher, whom he'd never forgotten. It's beautiful.

Tonight at Stormont, a determined mother @CalebsCauseNI is leading the charge for post-19 provision in NI, ensuring young people with additional needs are supported until age 25-just like in England and beyond. We stand with her in this vital campaign for equality and inclusion

So lucky to attend my friend @ErikaFJimenez's book launch today with my class. Powerful discussions led by Dr. Erika Jimenez, Prof. Laura Lundy, and chaired by Prof. Colin Harvey, exploring the human rights of Palestinian youth. An emotive day! #HumanRights #Education

Education should be about more than squeezing as many GCSEs out of a pupil as possible. But this will continue if we keep measuring educational outcomes through a narrow, singular focus on the results of an examination system designed for a different time and context.
These are very welcome comments from @bphillipsonMP Exam grades aren't the be-all and end-all. For too long the curriculum & assessment system has forced schools to focus on a narrow definition of 'standards' at the expense of real learning & student wellbeing.
