Valuing Education Campaign

The Minister of Education for N. Ireland has launched the Departments new three year campaign aimed at raising standards.  The campaign is designed to support the raising standards agenda (and particularly the efforts to tackle underachievement) by securing public understanding, engagement and support for the work of schools. It aims to raise awareness of and promote the value of a good education whilst encouraging parents to aspire to a better education and future for their children. The key theme of the campaign is "Get Involved Because Education Works".
The Department has developed a website which provided parents with useful tips on how to play, talk, read and count with their children.  Check out the website at the address below:
