How is it that many children finish primary school not being able to read? What do we need to do to improve ways of teaching literacy?
Should religion still shape school access in modern Ireland, or is it time for a new model for every child?
Why are so many schools facing the same behaviour challenges, and what practical approaches could create calmer, safer classrooms for everyone?
After years of lessons, many students still cannot speak Irish confidently. What needs to change?
With the revised curriculum and the pressure for a finished product, how do we save the arts from paper plates and cookie cutters?
Families and schools feel growing pressure. How do we rebuild special education around children instead of bureaucracy?
Education shapes the lives of children, families and communities across Ireland.
Important conversations about its future are now taking place through the National Education Convention.
The Education (Un)Convention simply recognises that many valuable ideas about education exist beyond the walls of any single gathering.
By sharing perspectives from teachers, parents, students and communities, the conversation about education can become broader, richer and more reflective of the experiences of those who live it every day.
Every idea contributes to that conversation.
