Education groups' views sought on schools and skills development

Education groups are being invited to respond to issues around schools and skills development in the Programme for Government.

The consultation has been established by the Education Minister Richard Bruton in order to inform a new three-year strategy in his department, in keeping with a commitment that it be developed within the first 100 days of the programme’s agreement.

He has sent details to 230 stakeholders in the education system and has asked for responses by June 8.
