Education Authority must properly investigate premature placement notifications – Sheehan
3 April 2025
Sinn Féin MLA Pat Sheehan has urged the Education Authority to properly investigate why parents/guardians were sent a notification this morning regarding nursery and P1 placements.
The party’s education spokesperson said:
“This morning, many parents and schools were left confused and anxious due to the Education Authority’s miscommunication regarding placements.
“The start of a child’s educational journey is a significant milestone for families—one that can already be stressful. This has only added to their concern and uncertainty.
“The Education Authority has since said it is investigating why this happened and it’s vital they take steps to ensure this does not happen again.”
