Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Education (Amendment) Bill 2015 and Education (Parent and Student Charter) Bill 2016: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. John Boyle:

I will. There are huge issues in schools, primarily with workload. As well as a charter being put into place for students and for parents, the role, rights and responsibilities of the teacher also need to be enshrined in charter.

We thank the committee. Members should have our submission, and will be receiving an amended version.

One part of this legislation will probably be necessary. We hope to engage with the committee and legislators as the Bill continues toward fruition.
