On Friday 29th November the Foundation had the privilege to attend the Association of Community and Comprehensive School’s Annual In-School Management Conference in Cavan, to discuss the aims of both organizations and promote registration for Flag Day 2020.
The work of the association covers three main areas:
- advice and support to schools/industrial relations.
- national issues – negotiation/policy setting and implementation.
- research, development and training.
The work of the Association is varied and involves a multiplicity of issues at both the level of macro issues at a national level and micro issues that are school specific. There is also a large degree of inter connectivity between both. An issue that is particular to an individual school may have as its consequence implications for all schools nationally.
