There is so much work being done in our schools across the country. We are so lucky to have more teachers than ever before, more SNAs, more students taking the Leaving Certificate and staying in school for longer.

Today I have published the Education Indicators Report, which shows us just how much progress has been made in our education system.

I am committed to doing more to support our schools, teachers, students and everyone in our school communities to ensure that we continue to build on this progress.
