Schools policy

The Councillors gather together today for a special meeting - and what vast cost? - to discuss education policy and specifically the aftermath of the vote to close, then NOT to close, the S1-S2 schools.

With the policy in disarray, it appears that some of the guns are turning inward.

Half of the Councillors are suggesting that the meeting is to persuade the Council to reverse it's decision by pointing out that the decision is unworkable, due to financial constraints.

The other half seem to believe that they are now going to be told that a policy that was undeliverable can actually be delivered, making them look like fools.

Hopefully, I'll be able to relay details of the discussion and outcomes in due course.

There is no education policy only a bunch of half baked ideas that do not work together. If the councillors, sorry, officers manage to get any kind of coherent education policy at today's seminar it would be nothing short of a miracle. Thats the thing with miracles - no one is consulted - they just happen and you have to live with it. A bit like the decicions of the comhairle that the officers succeed in getting through!
Let he who is without school cast the first vote...

The council have issued a press release as a result of yesterdays seminar.
I forecast more fun and games.
