Ruane urged to keep 11-plus until alternative is chosen
The North's Education Minister Caitriona Ruane today faced calls to retain the 11-plus transfer test until a proven alternative is identified.
Extending the life of the controversial selection exam, which is due to be axed next year, would help to ease parental concern about the ongoing political impasse over the future of post-primary transfer procedures, according to the Ulster Unionists.
