» Wednesday, March 15, 2006Northern Irish Grammar Schools
Asked if the Government had changed its plans on abolishing grammar schools in Northern Ireland, the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) said that the position on grammar schools in Northern Ireland remained the same. The position was that there were proposals which were out for consultation. Put to him that he had heard that the Northern Ireland minister had said that it was the Irish Assembly’s desire to abolish grammar schools and that if they wanted to they should get on with it, the PMOS said that he thought that might be an inaccurate summary of a recent piece on the 6 o’clock news. Asked if the status of grammar schools was still open, the PMOS said that it had been stated by government ministers in Northern Ireland that they were not out to abolish grammar schools, but rather they wished to change the process of selection.
