Education Outside the Classroom – An Innovative Teaching Concept During COVID-19

Niamh Bhreathnach, education minister who abolished third level college fees, dies aged 77

Sad news about Niamh Bhreathnach. A truly reforming education minister. Abolished fees, sponsored the 1st coordinated scheme to tackle educational disadvantage - Breaking the Cycle. And inadvertently the reason I became an educational researcher.

Funerals delayed as increase in number of deaths puts mortuaries under pressure

Jan 30

Mindboggling that this isn't on every front page. Irish deaths over Dec-Jan period just gone are *40%* higher than same period, pre-COVID. No room in mortuaries. Government can spin the 'dying from/with Covid', but can't spin huge increase in total deaths.

Finally moving to sequester Enoch Burke's assets if he doesn't stop turning up at Wilson's. Will that put a stop to the Boomerang Burke show? It'd be interesting to know how the family finance their many legal forays.

Interesting development in the Enoch Burke Show. The guards have intervened. AFAIK, now he's not an employee, he might be *trespassing* on school grounds. That could make him guilty of a criminal offence. Family really giving him great legal advice 🙄

excellent🧵 about two women, deaths treated and reported *very* differently. Both non-Irish, murdered here in 1996, a few days apart, both deaths remain unsolved. RIP Belinda (& Sophie).

Even if anyone has *practical* advice, that would be much appreciated. The DEIS grant,% devoted to HSCL etc is complicated, & hard to transpose to another education system, hence the What Works nature of the Q. Hope the intent of the tweet is clearer now.

Thanks to a DM, I realise clarity is needed. I'm costing a feasibility study elsewhere & want to use Irish experience. I'm trying to estimate ballpark "manageable" workload for a HSCL-type role. Sort of like a min-max range for No. pupils/No. schools. All DEIS-type schools.

Help please #edchatie Seeking info on HSCL post allocation by school size. Can anyone direct me, or give a ballpark guide? E.g., primary school w/ fewer than X pupils gets 0.5 post/eligible school over Y size gets 1 post. Assumed it'd be easy info to find, but no joy. TIA 🙏
