Racism is an issue that affects thousands of students in second-level education every day.
It is not enough to say you are not racist. This is the time to be actively anti-racist. Amplify black voices. Listen, educate yourself, donate (if you can), support campaigns. (1/4)
#Voteat16 is a long standing aim and belief of the ISSU- as more countries allow 16 year olds to assert their voice at the ballot box we should work progressively to afford 16 year olds in Ireland the same right.
The Department of Education & Skills has released its guide for the completion of calculated grades.
The ISSU is continuing to engage in this process and seeks further clarity, and we invite students to send us feedback.
