Briefing paper on The Education (Northern Ireland) Order 2006.
The draft Education Order is out for consultation until 7 March 2006. It draws together the different strands of reform begun by the Burns and Costello Reports. Both suggested replacing the transfer test with a pupil profile and in 2004 the government announced that the last transfer tests would be held in 2008.
The draft Order is accompanied by a summary of responses to the consultation on new admission arrangements for post primary schools, an explanatory memorandum, a response booklet and a statement from Angela Smith, MP, Minister for Education.
