As a life-time educator I am sick of politicians chasing after votes from the Integrated education lobby who are pursuing what will inevitably result in less parental choice and a dumbing down of the Northern Ireland education system.
The old adage of ‘be careful what you wish for’ certainly applies - see my latest posting or thread on this very subject.
If it works don’t change it ought to be the test and it certainly does work extremely well in most respects.

Instead of always crying ‘wolf’ at the continued existence of Catholic faith schools, those politicians from political parties who have an axe to grind against faith schools should educate themselves on the tremendous work and radical initiatives in teaching diversity going on.
We don’t even have the proper resources to run our schools in Northern Ireland and it is ludicrous to suggest radical changes that will cost the taxpayer more money if the partly self-funded Catholic voluntary sector is abolished. The politicians don’t tell the public that fact.
