Ms Annie Sheppard:

In conclusion, the young people in our post-primary schools today are not being adequately supported by the current structures in place. These structures and supports appear to vary widely between schools, which creates massive inequalities in our society. A national streamlined strategy with a greater injection of funding is long overdue. Full transparency and clear communication are required at all stages. Our young people are our future and they deserve every opportunity and assistance that can be given to them.
