The Background

Northside Partnership's Regional Education Network was established in 2005, with the express aim of encouraging and enabling all education providers within our catchment area to work together to identify:

• Emerging Educational Needs within our area
• Practical Solutions to Meet these Needs

After initial consultation with a focus group of education providers, the Network was formed, inviting all 68 education providers in our area to join.

The Vision

"...High quality, high value learning environments through effective partnerships of education providers and other stakeholders in the community..."

The Structure

All of the education providers within the Northside Partnership catchment area are invited to join the Regional Education Network and the vast majority of these providers have participated in Network activities.  An Executive Steering Committee, comprising of representatives from primary, second level, second-chance and third level, oversees the work of the Network.  The wider Network meets on a bi-annual basis, allowing time for presentations on work to date, new initiatives coming soon and an opportunity for local education providers to network and discuss issues of common concern.

Presently, the Executive Steering Committee is working on a proposed Action Plan, which will be presented to the Network in the Autumn.  Once approved, the Action Plan will be accessible through this site.
