  1. Debate contribution: Ministerial Code of Conduct

    • Opposition Business

    Does the Member agree that the economic consequences of Brexit and the underfunding of our public services are the major difficulties facing the Assembly and Executive? Does he also agree that, although institutional reform is necessary, constitutional reform and the ending of partition are absolutely essential if we…

  2. Member's statement: An Roghnú ar Bhonn Acadúil

    • Members' Statements

    Seachtain Mheabhairshláinte na bPáistí an tseachtain seo. Is é téama fheachtas na bliana seo ná "Seo M’Áitse", agus is é is aidhm dó a chinntiú go mothaíonn páistí agus daoine óga go bhfuil áit acu sa tsochaí. Ba chóir do gach páiste a mhothú go bhfuil meas orthu agus go bhfuil tacaíocht acu sa chóras oideachais…

  5. Debate contribution: Academic Selection

    • Private Members' Business

    Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. For fear of being interrogated about what type of school I went to, I will say that I did the 11-plus, sailed through it without stress, went to a grammar school and then left it and went to a non-grammar school. I then went on to further education and later did a degree…

  6. Debate contribution: Academic Selection

    • Private Members' Business

    Thanks very much for giving way, Robbie. I hear what you say, and I understand it. There are kids who sail through the test and have no problem, but there are other children who do not: that is the problem. The mental health champion, who was appointed by your Minister, Robin Swann, stated clearly that academic…

  7. Debate contribution: Academic Selection

    • Private Members' Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. The issue of mobile phones is a fairly recent phenomenon, and we have not seen all the evidence around that yet. There is, however, plenty of evidence that academic selection is harming children and that it does not create or promote the social mobility that we are talking about. How…

  8. Debate contribution: Religious Education and Collective Worship in Schools

    • Ministerial Statement

    As the previous Member to ask a question said, the Supreme Court was clear that religious education must be objective, critical and pluralistic. Will the Minister explain in clear terms how his approach will ensure that every child feels included and respected, regardless of their faith or beliefs?

  9. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Managing Authority

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I am happy to look at any evidence that the Minister can provide. He certainly has not provided any there. A consultation is not research, and it is not evidence. The fact that the Catholic sector outperforms the controlled sector is not evidence that the managing authority of one provides those outcomes in its own…

  10. Debate contribution: Controlled Schools: Managing Authority

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    A new managing authority for the controlled sector will cost a significant amount of money to set up and to resource in the time ahead. Will the Minister tell us what research he has had carried out and what evidence he has that the educational outcomes of children and young people in the controlled sector will…

  11. Topical question AQT 1994/22-27

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr Sheehan asked the Minister of Education what research he has had carried out and what evidence he has to support his assertion that setting up a managing authority for the controlled sector will improve outcomes for children and young people in that sector, and to answer the question rather than going off on a rant…

  12. Written question AQW 39316/22-27

  14. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Education

    • Ministerial Statement

    On a point of order, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. In a number of the Minister's responses, he referred to the RAISE programme and accused Sinn Féin of being responsible for a judicial review having been taken. My point of order has a number of aspects to it, but, first of all, many people commented on the RAISE…

  15. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Education

    • Ministerial Statement

    In the course of his engagements with his counterpart from Dublin, has the Minister ever expressed curiosity about the fact that educational outcomes in the South far exceed those here, or has he asked for an explanation of why that is the case?

  16. Member's statement: Lá Idirnáisiúnta an Oideachais

    • Members' Statements

    Bhí Lá Idirnáisiúnta an Oideachais ann Dé Sathairn seo a chuaigh seo. Athdhearbhaíonn Sinn Féin a thiomantas lena chinntiú go bhfuil an tús is fearr ag gach páiste agus ag gach duine óg agus iad ag gabháil i gceann an tsaoil agus go bhfuil rochtain acu ar oideachas ardchaighdeáin. Is ceart bunúsach é an t-oideachas,…
