Are you bored or confused?
The Department of Education appears to boring grammar schools into accepting their controversial proposals about post primary school re-organization. Just read their LATEST discussion document "New Admission Arrangements for Post Primary Schools" issued in January(500 pages). The papers was promised 1 year ago.
The whole reorganization debate is now becoming ludicrous. The Department has taken 6 years, 2 major reports, 4 consultation exercises - that I can recall!
I suggest if you are interested in education, take time, read this boring document, and you may agree that the Department has yet to come up with a satisfactory alternative, based on the general principle that it is necessary to have a system which makes some attempt to match the aptitude and ability of pupils with what is being provided by individual schools to which they are applying. The model being proposed by the Department falls well short of that requirement.
