Educate Together Launches Election Campaign

On February 8, citizens in Ireland will vote for our next Government and Educate Together needs your help to ensure that equality in education is a key election issue.

Educate Together national office has  launched an election awareness campaign – Treating All Children Equally. Educate Together’s campaign focuses on key issues facing our network of schools and the wider education system in Ireland: school choice, economic inequality, additional needs provision and school accommodation.

At the heart of this campaign is the necessity for Ireland’s political class to accept the reality of providing for a school system fit for the twenty-first century. To do this, we must challenge candidates to support and champion real investment in our education system.

During the course of the election, Educate Together will be contacting candidates to press them for commitments to take meaningful action, if elected, to address the four key issues outlined above but we cannot do this alone, we need your help!

To help make our voices heard, Educate Together has created an online election pack. Here you can view Educate Together’s election issues, as well as download a Canvas Card  for when election candidates canvass your local area.
