  • 1509 Catalyst A5.Indd
    Post Primary Education CATALYST PAMPHLET THIRTEEN Foreward Catalyst’s self-appointed task for more than a decade now has been to encourage the Church to be the Church, to examine ourselves to see how our Christian witness measures up to the gospel parameters. We feel that there are areas of life where the great biblical themes of justice and fairplay should be reiterated and realized; justice and fairplay especially for those who do not themselves have a strong voice, for those on the margins or at the bottom of society. One such arena is that of public education. Both in NI and throughout the UK there is much debate about the benefi ts and failures of the present situation and of the reforms which have been implemented over the past half century. There are many criticisms of the outcome of present-day education policy and a good deal of uncertainty about how we can improve it, including a fear that the latter state might be worse than the former. Pressure groups and special-interest groups abound, and often more heat than light is generated. It is our plea that there should be an honest and open examination of the issues, and who is better placed to contribute to this than the Christian churches? They pioneered education, motivated by the wonderful idea that all are children of God the Father who has endowed everyone, but everyone, with skills, talents, intellectual and other abilities. Respectfully we offer the following as points worthy of consideration especially by religiously motivated people: 1 The status quo post the 1944/48 Education Acts meant in NI students emerging from Grammar Schools with very good Senior Certifi cate (GCE) grades and A levels, (better than in GB).

This should include a description of the target area you are seeking to serve within the advertised licence area, and also any areas you are aiming to serve outside the advertised licence area for this small-scale radio multiplex service. (You may refer to your coverage prediction in the response you provide): Derry is the second largest city in Northern Ireland, characterised by its distinctively hilly topography. The River Foyle forms a deep valley as it flows through the city, which presents challenges for radio transmission whilst also explaining our choice of name for the multiplex. Derry Urban Area (DUA), includes the city and the neighbouring towns of Culmore, Newbuildings and Strathfoyle. On census day (27 March 2011) there were 81,902 people living in Derry Urban Area. This accounts for the 77.2% of the people in Ofcom’s ‘Derry/Londonderry’ Polygon area.

The evaluation included Learning Northern Ireland (LNI), which is the regional virtual online learning environment of the C2k managed service solution. While the evaluation report1 acknowledged the successful creation, uptake and use of the C2k managed service as a whole, and the outstanding, innovative work ongoing in some schools, it also highlighted some important shortcomings concerning the impact of learning environments in schools and the wider education service. 1.2 As part of the original evaluation, the

  • Belfast Royal Academy to the Education Committee at Stormont Re: the Education Bill
    SUBMISSION FROM THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF BELFAST ROYAL ACADEMY TO THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE AT STORMONT RE: THE EDUCATION BILL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We welcome the opportunity to express our views and comments on the Bill during Committee Stage. While there are certain benefits in some of the changes proposed, including the amalgamation of the existing Education and Library Boards, there are many areas of concern, which directly threaten the future organisation and management of our school. As representatives of a Voluntary Grammar School, we are extremely concerned that the proposals contained in the Bill will dilute significantly the autonomy which has been enjoyed by schools such as this one for many years – in the case of this school for 225 years - and undermine the principle of academic selection. In an article in the Irish News on 6th October 2012, Professor Patrick Murphy, a commentator on educational matters and former Chief Executive of the Belfast Institute of Further and Higher Education, stated the following: “…Educationally, the big losers are the grammar schools which now enter the system’s mainstream administration for the first time. ESA will implement educational policy made by John O’Dowd”. We note that issues raised by schools in other sectors have been addressed in this Bill and that these schools have been given representation on the ESA Board, through Sectoral Bodies. Despite educating one third of post-primary pupils, the Voluntary Grammar Sector has not been given any representation on the ESA Board, which appears to be discriminatory. In summary, our key concerns are as follows: Loss of employing authority rights Loss of autonomy Lack of representation of Voluntary Grammar Schools on the ESA Board The impact of Area Planning on the Education Sector and the ultimate aim to introduce uniformity of education provision by means of this initiative and to abolish academic selection and reduce parental choice.

  • BBC Music Booklet Celebrating 80 Years of Music.Pdf
    Celebrating Years of Music A Serenade to Music “We are the music-makers And we are the dreamers of dreams…” (Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy, Ode) The story of BBC Northern Ireland’s involvement in nurturing and broadcasting local musical talent is still in the making. This exhibition provides a revealing glimpse of work in progress at the BBC’s Community Archive in documenting the programmes and personalities who have brought music in all its different forms to life, and looks at how today’s broadcasters are responding to the musical styles and opportunities of a new century. It celebrates BBC NI’s role in supporting musical diversity and creative excellence and reflects changes in fashion, technology and society across 80 years of local broadcasting. “ Let us celebrate the way we were and the way we live now. Much has been achieved since 2BE’s first faltering (and scarcely heard) musical broadcast in 1924. Innovation has Let us celebrate the ways we will be... been a defining feature of every decade from early radio concerts in regional towns and country halls to the pioneering work of Sean O’Boyle in recording traditional music and Sam Hanna Bell’s 1950s programmes of Belfast’s Let us count the ways to celebrate. street songs.The broadcasts of the BBC Wireless Orchestra and its successors find their contemporary echo in the world-class performances of the Ulster Orchestra and BBC NI’s radio and television schedules continue to Let us celebrate.” reverberate to the diverse sounds of local jazz, traditional and country music, religious services, brass bands, choirs, (Roger McGough - Poems of Celebration) contemporary rock, pop and dance music.
