Stephen this is so true. We are now managing our schools but our ability to lead has been eroded with continuous underfunding over many years. 2 + 2 no longer equals 4!
This is the final nail in the coffin of school development. How do we develop when we can’t purchase resources, or provide learning time for, or even replace a sick teacher? There is now a new yard marker for @ETI_news Maintenance is now success; development is a pipe dream.
Trip to Croke Park
P 6 & 7 had a fantastic trip today to Croke Park. This was part of the celebrations from our recent Cumman na mBunscol success. Thank you to @CrokePark for the super tour and to @cnambnaisiunta for this opportunity. @armaghcnamb@AllianzIreland
We had a great day in Cavan with Armagh U20 Hurlers winning the Andrew O’Neill Cup - the first time in their history winning a title at this level. Super proud of Liam, the team and management ! @Armagh_GAA
This evening I feel INTO members will feel robbed of their right to decide. INTO have failed their own members. This is a sad day for democracy @INTO_NI
@NickDMathison Excellent understanding of the issues underpinning the teachers refusal to accept pay offer and a realistic approach to solving the issues. Funding of schools in general is also a major issue @BBCPolitics
Teachers have rejected the pay deal 1. Parity of Pay 2. Right to Strike ASOS at a time they choose 3. Deal put out on a Friday night with little or no time for consultation. We deserve fair treatment and respect. @INTO_NI@robbeorn@Education_NI
@INTO_NI There is no mention of pay parity in this deal? This is a priority so that all teachers in NI can feel valued like our counterparts in the Republic of Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales. Can we receive clarity on this @INTO_NI ?
Ethan Raftery will be a huge weapon for Armagh this year with the introduction of the new rule for the two point arc. He kicked three points tonight against Tyrone with two of them behind the arc for a total of (0-5)
Not bad for a goalkeeper!
