Education Blog: transfer chaos petition notches up 6,000 signatures
Thursday, 22 October 2009
We're delighted to announce today that our petition has topped 6,000 signatures in just four weeks.
We are planning to deliver the first batch to Parliament Buildings on Saturday, December 5th at 12.30pm and are asking people to join us in handing them over to the education committee.
Our campaign continues in the meantime and we want to get as many thousands of signatures as we can by December to show the strong public feeling there is about this issue.
The weekly talks involving four of the main political parties are continuing but Sinn Fein still won't join the other MLAs to try and sort the situation out. We appeal to this party to put the children first, admit there is a problem and join with the others to try and find consensus at Executive level in time for this year's P6s.

I really don't understand all the fuss about getting rid of the 11+. When I was at school in 1958 and doing the 11+, which I did not pass because the school I went to was disastrous. No one passed it! I would have given anything to have it modified then, not to make it easier but to make it understandable or to have a teacher who knew what she was doing. They talked then about getting rid of the 11+. So what is the difference now. Look forward to the change and hopefully change will be good. To me when I was back in N> Ireland in the summer, parents, including relatives were just making a fuss about change. Change is good.
