Sheehan requests urgent meeting with EA on school places

Sinn Féin MLA Pat Sheehan has asked for an urgent meeting with the Education Authority to discuss ongoing uncertainty over school places for children with special educational needs.

The party’s education spokesperson said:

“I have requested an urgent meeting with the Education Authority to discuss our concerns about ongoing uncertainty over school places for children with special educational needs.   

“It’s now mid-July and with school set to return in September, there is an onus on the EA to provide clarity to these children’s parents quickly on the next steps.

“Every child is entitled to a suitable school placement, and the Education Authority are obligated to ensure that happens.”

Teachers deserve a fair pay deal that reflects their incredible work and commitment to our young people.

@ChrisHazzardSF joined with a delegation of teachers from the North to hand in a letter to the British Prime Minister calling for an immediate pay deal for workers.

Education workers deserve fair pay & working conditions.

With one party’s boycott of the Executive ongoing, the British Govt must urgently bring forward a pay deal for workers here.

We need an Executive restored now, & all parties working together to support workers & services.

In any other walk of life the person presiding over such a colossal failure would be sacked. The Minister for Justice is clearly not the person to restore people's confidence in public safety and she should resign.
