Background
The EA is a non-departmental body sponsored by the Department of Education. The EA is responsible for ensuring that efficient and effective pre-school, primary and secondary education and sufficient schools and educational services are delivered equitably across Northern Ireland, are available to meet the needs of children and young persons and for ensuring the provision of efficient and effective youth services.
The role of EA Chairperson demands the ability to make informed strategic decisions, considering opportunity, impact and risk and the ability to influence across a diverse stakeholder base to deliver positive outcomes and enhance children and young peoples’ experience of education provision and services in Northern Ireland. In addition, the EA Chairperson should be a champion and public-facing advocate for EA and education in the media, as we make the case for greater investment in our education system.
