Even allowing for the distortion effect of our GDP, we are investing relatively little in education. One significant aspect of our system has been its resilience to underinvestment, or its efficiency, which is remarkable when compared to any other area of major public spending.

The most recent PISA rankings are from 2022, in which Ireland ranked ahead of Finland on Math and Reading, and slightly behind them on Science.

Pope Leo XIV has proclaimed Saint John Henry Newman a Doctor of the Church during mass celebrated in Saint Peter's Square in the Vatican, on the Feast of All Saints https://t.co/uolSpWrlsQ

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

On this Solemnity of All Saints, it is a great joy to include Saint John Henry Newman among the Doctors of the Church, and, at the same time, on the occasion of the Jubilee of the World of Education, to name him, together with Saint Thomas Aquinas, as co-Patron of the Church’s educational mission.

Happy Michaelmas to all our schools

[Dominican Friars Foundation @dominicanfriars]

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael—Archangels!

On this great feast, Fr. Gabriel Torretta, O.P., encourages you to pray to St. Michael, to fight for you against the deadly powers of the enemy; to St. Gabriel, to fill you with the knowledge of God’s Word; and to St. Raphael, to heal and protect you from anything that might draw you away from Jesus Christ.

An important milestone for CPSMA - today for the first time ever we dealt with over 2000 calls in one month - both we and all our schools are hoping for a much quieter October - it’s been a challenging start to the year
