I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide, for the protection of schools which are the exclusive providers of education for geographical, cultural, religious or non-denominational communities; for the protection of schools which are the providers of education for Gaeltacht areas; for the protection of schools which are the providers of education for offshore islands; for the strengthening of teachers' and students' rights with regard to multi-grade teaching arrangements; for the enshrinement in law of the educational rights of the child as set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child; for the amendment of sections 7, 10, 12, 24 and 30 of the Education Act 1998; and to provide for related matters.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
