Primary school education groups have warned that educational spending could be a huge political issue in next year’s local elections.

Primary school groups unite to fight further cuts

The groups have joined forces to form the National Alliance for Primary Education in a bid to stop further spending cuts in primary education in next month’s budget. The alliance believes any attempt to cut primary education is essentially a direct attack on children and their constitutional right to education.

A postcard campaign, aimed at TDs and organised by the alliance, is to start this week. It calls on politicians to protect primary education in the budget so schools can contribute to the national recovery.
