Mr Danny Baker: Assembly records
All of Mr Danny Baker’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
OK. Will the Minister finally commit to listening to the like of the Children's Law Centre and school leaders and admit that his crusade is wrong, and then reset?
Minister, I do not know whether you bury your head in the sand or think that everyone in here has come up the Lagan in a bubble. Last week, the Children's Law Centre, teaching unions and children's rights advocates voiced their very serious concerns around your SEN reform agenda. It is clear that the responsibility…
To ask the Minister of Education whether he is aware of any issues raised by stakeholders that the Education Authority's consultation on the Enhanced Support Model does not represent a genuine opportunity for public input.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the rational for choosing the shorter consultation period of 8 weeks for the Education Authority's consultation on the Enhanced Support Model, considering the scale, complexity and impact of the proposed changes.
To ask the Minister of Education for an update on his Department’s work on further streamlining the free school meal application process, ensuring families can access free school meals as easily and as early as possible, including consideration of auto-enrolment.
To ask the Minister for Communities for an update on his Department’s engagement with the Department of Education regarding the possibility of using auto-enrolment for free school meals.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the number of year 12 pupils deemed ineligible for inclusion in the Summary of Annual Examination Results returns submitted by schools, in the last five years.
When will the Education Minister start listening? New research from Dublin City University and St Mary's University College, Belfast, should be a wake-up call to the House. Some 91% of teachers are experiencing burnout; nearly half are considering leaving the profession; and 95% say that workload is the driving…
I am just wondering where the TUV's workforce plan is for other sectors that, you feel, are being discriminated against. Yesterday, you said that you were not an MLA at the time and missed some deadlines. However, your predecessor was here: where were his ambitions?
It is unfair. You have to ask yourself, "Where else does that happen?". It is very much an equality issue. That is where I want to leave it today: it is an equality issue. I commend the Member for introducing the Bill. It is so important.
I commend my friend and colleague for introducing this important legislation. His passion for and commitment to the Irish language has not gone unnoticed in my constituency or further afield. Before I start my contribution, I will say this: I said, yesterday, that we all have the opportunity to close gaps by…
I thank the Member for giving way and commend him for bringing forward the important Bill. The fact that its scope goes beyond teachers is particularly welcome. Can the Member outline how important it is that we address the recruitment and retention of the wider workforce, including classroom assistants and…
You will be glad to know that I will not take too much time. It has been a really good debate covering a lot of areas. At times, I thought that we were having a full Budget debate, with the Minister's very long way of saying no to the Bill. I appreciate what everyone has said. I have been honest from the get-go, since…
It sounded like you said that it would be £23·2 million by 2033-34. Is that what you said? That means that it is not the £33 million you were portraying it as earlier.
Minister, will you please give me some indication of how you came to that figure? There is a difference of £10 million between it and my figure, and I can explain how my figures line up.
