Budget 2016:I.N.T.O. (Irish National Teachers Organistion) has launched a campaign to highlight primary education in the forthcoming budget. We are asking you to fill out the attached card and post it to your local T.D. (If you wish, you can return it signed to the school (no stamp) and we will forward it to Leinster House). Alternatively (or as well) you can text “StandUp” to 50050 and your voice will be heard. The main priority in the campaign is to reduce class size over the coming years.
