  1. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I take that point. Equally, although it may be a copy-and-paste email, everybody who puts their name and address to such an email feels strongly enough to want to send it. I would not undermine that. Indeed, I respond to every such email that I receive, because I respect the fact that those people have taken the time…

  2. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    In fairness, it is not just about the Members over there; it is about the number of emails that we have received from across Northern Ireland. If it was one or two, maybe we would accept that as an anomaly, but what we received —. I know that, to an extent, that is driven by the unions, but that is why they exist. It…

  3. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Support and communication: we have to support our teachers more. I understand the budget pressures that the Minister is under in trying to provide an ideal education system that supports teachers in the way that many of us advocate.

    • Executive Committee Business

    I will give way in a second. That is the frustration that we hear from the teaching profession: too often, we approach this negatively. I am not unrealistic or naive enough to assume that there are not situations in which we absolutely must take action, but teachers feel that this is being levied on all of them, even…

  6. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for his contribution. If he had focused on the start of my contribution, he would know that I mentioned that it is not about not having school inspections; it is about the sanction that follows. Ultimately, it is an enforcement issue. Is that the right mechanism?

  7. Debate contribution: Education Inspections Bill: Second Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    Like other Members, there are aspects of the Bill that I support — indeed, I support two thirds of it — but there is an area that concerns me. Members will not be surprised, given the debate, to hear what that area is. I will start with the provisions relating to religious education. It seems that there is broad…
