Belfast West - Education

Higher education should be free at the point of use
There should be a greater awareness of dyslexia and dyspraxia in schools
The curriculum should include greater education on subjects such as: LGBT rights, Mental Health, Money Management and Comprehensive Sex Education
The student nurse bursary should be returned & bursaries should be extended to all health & social care students
Relationship and sexuality education (RSE) should be compulsory, comprehensive and standardised in schools
There is a need for greater political education in schools, higher education environments and workplaces
Comments
  • Only core subjects should be free in university not all courses
  • 3rd level education should be centrally funded, free at the point of delivery, supported by student grants and all students should leave university / college debt free
