In this heartfelt and powerful conversation, Matty J speaks with Broome local Lee, mother of 9-year-old Kelsey Stewart, who lives with a rare genetic condition called CDG1A (Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation). With only around 1,200 cases worldwide, CDG is a complex and often misunderstood disorder that affects physical and intellectual development. Lee shares her family's story—raising Kelsey in Broome, navigating therapy and travel challenges, and advocating for greater inclusion and support through the Sybree Rose Button Foundation. She also highlights Kelsey's incredible milestones: learning to crawl, speak with the help of a $7,500 communication device, and her love for music, school, and community.

The Oxford School of Thought (OST) is the primary education think tank – the first of its kindin the UK. They regard learning as a continuum, and we recognise the powerful and enduringinfluence of primary education across a lifetime of learning.OST proposes a distinct model of school inspection for primary schools, highlighting theneed for a framework that reflects the unique nature of primary education.The current inspection model, which primarily caters to secondary schools, fails to addressthe developmental and educational needs of primary school children. This has led to a lackof focus on the holistic, child-centered approaches necessary for young learners.The document emphasises that primary education fosters curiosity, relationships, and abroad, engaging curriculum, factors critical to the early stages of lifelong learning.To improve outcomes for students and to support teachers, the proposed inspection modelshould focus on these aspects, providing a more supportive, collaborative, anddevelopmental approach to school evaluation.The paper outlines some key components for a primary-specific inspection framework, suchas the importance of cross-curricular links, teacher-pupil relationships, inclusivity, and theintegration of the school within its community and primary teaching experience forinspectors.By calling for a developmental and collaborative inspection model the paper aims to shiftaway from punitive measures and towards a system that encourages continuousimprovement, addresses the well-being of both students and staff, and contributes to thebroader goal of fostering lifelong learning.This new approach is seen as essential for enhancing the education system, teacherretention, and children's mental health, and is framed as a necessary step in responding torecent government reviews on curriculum, assessment, and inclusion.Full details at https://www.oxfordschoolofthought.org/ost-report-primary-inspectionDiscover more about Education on Fire

There's uncertainty over whether a newly proposed sex education curriculum has assigned topics across the appropriate age and stage. The Government's new curriculum will see children learning about puberty in Year 5 and menstruation in Year 6. High school students will also learn about sexual violence and STIs. Auckland Primary Principals' Association President Kyle Brewerton told Ryan Bridge it's important for primary students to learn about puberty. He believes it would be more beneficial talking about menstrual cycles in the younger years and include the boys too. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Amy Hayward, Education Deputy Program Director, in conversation with co-authors Nick Parkinson and Dan Petrie, about how to boost students' maths proficiency in primary schools.

In this episode, I explore the issue of underfunding in Irish primary schools, using the example of Sacred Heart Junior National School in Killinarden, Dublin, which announced it would operate remotely due to financial constraints. I delve into the history and structure of funding for primary schools, highlighting how the Department of Education's capitation grants have not kept pace with rising costs, such as electricity, gas, and wages. As usual I critique the patronage system and propose that the Department of Education should be directly responsible for the financial management of schools to address these ongoing challenges.

Eithne Dodd reports that an investigation is continuing following a stabbing incident in a primary school in north Dublin yesterday in which an 11-year-old boy was injured.

A recent survey highlights strong parental support for STEM education, with 80% of parents willing to back their child's participation in extracurricular STEM activities. In addition, over half (54%) of the surveyed parents actively encourage their children to pursue an interest in STEM subjects. These figures are part of a survey conducted by Red C Research and released by ESB to mark the start of ESB Science Blast 2025. The first showcase events are taking place in RDS Dublin from Monday 3rd to Thursday 6th March 2025. ESB Science Blast, an RDS led initiative, is a free educational programme which actively encourages child-led investigation and scientific discovery. This non-competitive initiative aims to address inequities in STEM education by ensuring equal access for all students, with a 50/50 gender participation and a core focus on DEIS schools and Gaelscoileanna participation. Parents attitudes to STEM In the survey, almost half (48%) of parents with primary school-aged children stated they are satisfied with the STEM learning opportunities in the classroom. A regional disparity does exist as 40% of parents based in Dublin feel their child's school offers adequate STEM support compared to 33% of parents outside of Dublin. Overall, STEM ranks third in importance among school subjects, underscoring the need for greater awareness and advocacy in this area. STEM Career Opportunities and Understanding of STEM The survey also sheds light on perceptions of STEM career opportunities. Three-quarters (74%) of adults believe that a career in STEM would offer good job prospects. Yet only 35% are familiar with the career opportunities associated with STEM. There is a gender divide in perceptions of equal career opportunities in STEM, with 53% of men and 44% of women agreeing that such opportunities exist regardless of gender. The survey also reveals a gap in understanding regarding the term 'STEM', with 58% of participants admitting they do not have a clear grasp of the term. Commitment to STEM Reaffirming their commitment to fostering STEM education, ESB and the RDS today announce a five-year extension to their partnership of ESB Science Blast. Since 2019, ESB Science Blast has engaged over 70,000 pupils from all 32 counties, inspiring primary school pupils to explore the world around them and develop skills for the future, such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and curiosity. Commenting on the survey results and sponsorship renewal, Marguerite Sayers, Deputy Chief Executive, ESB said: "ESB Science Blast has been a transformative experience for thousands of students across Ireland. Supporting ESB Science Blast is one way we help nurture a diverse talent pool and encourage children to see the endless possibilities a career in STEM can offer. We are proud to extend our partnership with the RDS and continue our mission to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders, "The enthusiasm and creativity displayed by the students is truly inspiring. Every year, the vast array of projects highlights the curiosity of primary school children as they investigate the science behind simple but intriguing questions. We look forward to welcoming students and their teachers to ESB Science Blast 2025". The positive and significant impact of ESB Science Blast is evident in the positive feedback from both pupils and teachers in an external evaluation study conducted by RDS. An impressive 71% of pupils reported improved teamwork skills, while 86% of teachers noted enhanced presentation skills in the classroom. The programme has also sparked a greater interest in STEM careers, with 65% of pupils expressing a desire to pursue a future in the field. Commenting on the partnership, Niamh De Loughry, Deputy Chief Executive Foundation said: "ESB Science Blast exemplifies our unwavering commitment to fostering innovation and addressing critical societal needs. As a cornerstone of our Science and Technology programme, this initiati...

Die onderwysaktivis Hendrick Makaneta loof die minister van Basiese Onderwys, Siviwe Gwarube, dat sy met die privaat sektor saamwerk om die onderwysstelsel te verbeter. Die minister is gekritiseer omdat sy opvoubare plastieklessenaars goedkeur wat McDonald's aan graad een-leerders geskenk het. Gwarube en McDonald's het die lessenaars Maandag in Kaapstad aan die Saint Paul's Primary School in die Bo-Kaap oorhandig. Makaneta sê hierdie vennootskap is ʼn positiewe stap om infrastruktuur-behoeftes by skole aan te pak.

The Government's changing residency rules to allow overseas primary teachers to apply for New Zealand residency. Speaking exclusively to Newstalk ZB, the Immigration Minister says from next month, offshore primary teachers will only need a job offer, and don't need to have worked here for two years, to be given residency. Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking it follows the Government putting secondary teachers on the same pathway last year, which made a big difference to their numbers.
