NPF statement on SNA Reviews and SEN Supports @drivetimerte @RTE_PrimeTime #edchatie @InclusionIre

Happy SNA Appreciation Day to all our wonderful colleagues. Thank you for your collegiality, friendship, hard work and good humour, for all you do and the difference you make in the lives of our pupils. @forsa_union_ie

We are deeply concerned & frustrated by the NCSE SNA Review Guidelines, which will inevitably lead to yet more unwarranted & unsustainable cuts to our most vulnerable pupils & will severely impact the educational experiences of all pupils.Please sign&share

Brilliant news. Well done @forsa_union_ie @Forsaschoolsecs Hopefully full and fair resolution is reached. Fair play 🙌 We are so relieved too to have our colleagues back on Monday.

A tough week. We hope you are all OK. We stand with our secretaries & caretakers & hope for reason & fairness to prevail & a positive resolution to the strike. Stay strong 💪 #pensionparity @forsa_union_ie @Forsaschoolsecs

On paper, that looks supportive; in practice, it outsources the risk to principals and teachers.

Great to see. Our secretaries and caretakers need the support of colleagues, management, school communities to bring this strike to a positive resolution. #PayParity @forsa_union_ie @Forsaschoolsecs

Wishing the very best of luck to our secretary and caretaker colleagues starting their just strike tomorrow. We value you. You are not alone. We hope for a swift and fair resolution. Our schools will be lost without you. #PensionParityNow @forsa_union_ie @Forsaschoolsecs

This is my grandmother Margaret. She has been a school secretary for 28 years. She will retire without an occupational pension. This is wrong - Pension Parity should be given to all! The Minister must act to avoid strike! @HMcEntee @Education_Ire @labour @forsa_union_ie

Our school secretaries are invaluable in our schools. They deserve all of our support.

Chronic underfunding of schools was a key issue we raised with Oireachtas Members in Leinster House last June. Sadly, this could become the reality for many more schools if nothing changes.

NPF's Alan Kelly will feature on tonight's show, highlighting the issues we principals wish to raise in relation to the systemic inadequacy of supports for our pupils with additional needs.

Some of our dedicated @ForumTeaching lobbyists at a recent planning meeting, keeping the issues in need of support and progress to the fore of our work. #UnitedForIntegrity

Wishing a Happy World Teacher's Day to all the great educators across the country. Individually and collectively, your hard work, expertise, care and dedication makes a huge difference to the lives of our students, despite the systemic challenges we face. #WorldTeachersDay2024

@MarianHarkin Is there any update on your motion and what work is being done on it by @NormaFoleyTD1 or @1Hildegarde since it was passed unamended? We would appreciate some accountability from our Ministers.

2/2 A motion on these matters passed unmended in the Dáil thereafter. To what end? Opportunity lost and irretrievable damage to primary school children and education after this budget. #FundOurSchools #PrioritiseEducation #PrioritiseOurChildren @OireachtasNews @Education_Ire

1/2 Principals from across the country sat before a cross party meeting in Leinster House in June outlining the funding, leadership & SEN crisis in our schools, appealing for awareness & assistance. Absolute shame that our information seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

Happy #SnaAppreciationDay to all the wonderful special needs assistants in our schools across the country. Your hard work and dedication are much appreciated today & every day. #ThankOurSNAs
