Two Line Tuesday
Two Line Tuesday: Teaching Council Awakes
After what seems to have been an extraordinary amount of time, the Teaching Council have finally published a statement criticising the government regarding the pay inequality situation. While I appreciate that the Teaching Council have no role in fixing the problem, I hope this is the start of the council in having more of an understanding … Read more
Two Line Tuesday: While the government is away
While we have no government, the Department of Education have had to be keeping themselves busy by releasing circulars on non-education related things. This week we have been told that we can no longer drive our cars and that garda vetting is to centralised.
Two Line Tuesday: Digital Art Week Preview
I don’t usually advertise on Anseo.net but I’ll make an exception today. Myself, Damien Quinn from Seomra Ranga and Fred Boss from #edchatie are running Digital Art Week again this year on http://www.digitalartweek.com and it would be great if you could share this message with everyone!
Two Line Tuesday: INTO and Pay Inequality
A few months ago, the INTO encouraged their members to vote in favour of the Lansdowne Road Agreement despite the fact that pay inequality for post-2011 teachers was to remain as part of the deal.

Two Line Tuesday: INTO Directive
The INTO have issued a directive to all members to stop all involvement in SSE. I can imagine all the media outlets, the general public and even the Department of Education bustling around asking, “What the heck is SSE?”
Two Line Tuesday: Pledge for Parity?
I hate to be grumbling but I was utterly dismayed to read the INTO endorsing the hashtag #PledgeForParity on International Women’s Day. It’s not that I’m against the concept at all but I’m sure it feels very tasteless to the many of their members who were sold out during the Lansdowne Road Agreement when the INTO endorsed acceptance … Read more
Two Line Tuesday: #GE16 Over
With the General Election over, I wonder who will be the next Education Minister? Names in the ring from Anseo.net readers include Ciaran Cannon (FG) and… that’s about it.
Two Line Tuesday: Labour’s Education Manifesto
The Labour Party released its education manifesto with so many promises, it was hard to believe them all. Given their performance in the past five years, it’s even harder.
