Players have a duty of care to each other when it comes to tackling and a players head. Equally, they have a duty to not be overreacting to physical contact, which is a disservice to the game and making it difficult for referees to know when a player is genuinely injured #gaabeo

[The Elders @TheElders]

This International Women’s Day, Elders call for a woman to be the next head of the United Nations.

Women have fought for the right to vote, to work, to lead but the gender gap remains. We need to break the glass ceiling at the highest level.

High-performing education systems like Finland, Estonia, Singapore, China, and Japan tend to prioritize more recess, fewer direct instruction hours, hands-on projects, and real-world problem-solving—while limiting excessive screen time. Yes, even China is limiting screen time!

61% of educators report feeling overwhelmed or worn out, according to the interim report on Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS).

The demands of teaching are higher than ever. We need systemic change to safeguard their mental health and provide real support.

ASPA president @andy_mison, representing Australian public secondary schools, testified at the Senate Inquiry on the Better Fairer Funding Bill, calling for a new national accord on education. ASPA supports this call to prioritise student well-being and properly funded schools.

[ICP - International Confederation of Principals @ICPConnect]

Leendert-Jan Veldhuyzen reflects on the IPPN Conference: Pairic Clerkin’s speech on the importance of principals was powerful, and the event had a welcoming family atmosphere.

A great reminder of the crucial leadership role principals play in education.

Ireland produces more graduates with skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) than any other EU country. Importantly, we are second only to France in our number of STEM-skilled female graduates. This is an investment in our future. 🇮🇪👩‍🔬

Thinking of this remarkable woman today and how lucky I was to encounter her. She would have been 50 today. It was only when she died that I found out we shared a birthday 💔

Irish women are amongst the most highly educated in the world. Two-thirds of those aged 25-34 have at least a bachelor's degree. Amongst European and OECD countries, only in Lithuania are more young women so well educated. 🇮🇪👩‍🎓
