Schools aren't closing because of community transfer, they are closing because of transfer within schools. Those who lobbied to remove social distancing in schools should reflect on their part in this debacle.

- This is now the reality for many schools. When is the Executive going to protect schools?
- The Minister is saying that children's opportunities are limited if they don't attend a grammar school. Has Every School a Good School been binned?AQE have decided, due to COVID-19, that the transfer tests cannot proceed this year. This severely limits parental choice & children’s opportunities, with disappointment for many children & parents. I will continue to work with all stakeholders in these difficult circumstances.
- A teacher in Northern Ireland is worth just as much as one in Scotland. Take strike action on Wednesday.
- The Northern Ireland Teachers' Council of which the NASUWT is part has issued this press statement in relation to the Education Minister's statement on the transfer test.
- We are today calling on the Northern Ireland Executive to take urgent action to protect schools, pupils and education staff. #Omicron #COVID19 #teachertwitter nasuwt.org.uk/article-listin…
- With 2143 cases today action is needed immediately. Well done to those MLAs who have forced the return of the assembly tomorrow to discuss this issue.
- This letter from the North and South Belfast Nursery Principals' group to Education Minister sets out 11 questions for him to answer. These hardworking leaders need answers Minister! shorturl.at/gvQX7
- No more excuses. Teachers and FE lecturers need a pay increase.
- I can't believe that this needs to be said at this stage. Face-to-face meetings of more than 6 adults are prohibited in schools. Don't attend them! Contact us immediately if any are planned in your school.
- Schools should move to remote learning now, not wait until the 25th January, which is a bizarre decision when the Health Minister has warned that the health system is facing higher levels of demand now than in the first wave. nasuwt.org.uk/article-listin…
- The message is clear. Teachers in Northern Ireland will not accept being the worst paid in the UK."We can't have teachers in Northern Ireland being the worst paid teachers in the UK." @JMcCamphill1 tells @MarkCarruthers7 that teachers want to see pay get back to 2010 in 'real' terms...
