An opponent of academic selection, Prof Tony Gallagher, has criticised the lack of information about the new proposals for education:
“Potentially the greatest resource we have in our education system is our teachers, and we should be doing things to try to ensure that they have clarity on where things are going, so they can tell the parents who are lining up at their doors seeking clarity what’s going on,”
Catriona Ruane denies there is a problem:
“People right across the north understand exactly what’s happening here.”
