Ruane on the racks

The education minister, Catriona Ruane has another front to contend with this morning in her battle against selection. Today thirty grammer schools are announcing they will introduce their own selection tests.

Ms Ruane has not handled her Stakeholder relations well to date. A change in tone and an acknowledgement that there is no political consensus is needed from the minister. I am one of over ten thousend parents living in uncertainty and concerned about what system our children will be part of. I have to say I am begining to wonder if this minister is capable of delivering my son a good educational future.
