TUI: Invest in school system or invest in prisons

IF we don’t put cash into the education system then we’re going to have to put it into the prison service, warned a school equality expert.

Marian Cox, chairwoman of the Teachers Union of Ireland (TUI) equality council, was discussing a recent survey on the continuing failure of Government to implement anti-racism policies and services in schools.

She made several references to the tragic death of 15-year-old Toyosi Shittabey on Good Friday.
