Celebrating 25 incredible years of service!
Our Simulation Technician, David Hardy, has been an essential part of delivering world-class teaching at the InterSim Centre.
Without our technicians, we couldn’t achieve the same level of excellence.
Huge congratulations, David! 👏

Every single one of these damaging measures announced today is the direct consequence of political choices made at Westminster and in Stormont about how much to allocate to education in Northern Ireland.

This platform piece pulls together the feedback we received from 145 people on the draft Anti-Poverty Strategy. Their voices have been ignored for too long. Thank you to @irish_news for publishing it.

The 1980s community education movement gave schools real community purpose. We lost it. Place-based education & locality leadership are our chance to put it back at the centre where it belongs. This is so important for community regeneration and the future of our young people.

Smart city infrastructure can be used to improve public services. But it can also be used to limit public dissent, violate privacy, and strengthen authoritarian tendencies.

Fewer people read regularly, despite the proven benefits of improved mental health & wellbeing, & educational and cultural enrichment. Investment in school & public libraries would help, as would encouraging more parents to read to their children. ft.com/content/583de986-a295… via @ft

"This has been the best year yet".. The world class facilities at @QUBelfast have once again been shared with children from one of our partner communities @MDABelfast, inspiring them for future careers, thank you to all @QUBstaff who helped this week. 🎓😍👏
These future QUB experts joined us on campus to explore some of the possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead of them.
From #MedicalSimulation and #MarineScience to #MediaInnovation and tackling #Climate and #Biodiversity, the young participants in the #STEAM summer scheme took part in educational experiences across the Queen's campus, giving them a taster for future studies and career paths.
The Summer Scheme was co-designed by @QUBCommunities1 and @MDABelfast.
We hope you had fun, everyone. We can't wait to see what you do next!
