TransformED NI: Transforming teaching and learning: a strategy for Educational Excellence in Northern Ireland
TransformED NI outlines a comprehensive strategy for the transformation of teaching and learning in Northern Ireland. The strategy focuses on the core areas of curriculum, assessment, qualifications, school improvement and tackling educational disadvantage. Reform in each of these areas will be underpinned by significant investment in high-quality teacher professional development.
TransformED NI Strategy
TransformED NI Executive Summary
In April 2024, the Department published the TransformED Delivery Plan which translates the strategy’s vision for educational excellence into actionable steps. It sets out a clear delivery approach, key delivery partners, indicative timescales and estimated costs to ensure effective implementation of each of the actions within TransformED.
TransformED Delivery Plan
The key elements of the strategy have been summarised as a ten-point plan for educational excellence, which aims to bring a new drive and coherence to the improvement of our system.
Each of these ten strategic commitments aims to learn systematically from the most effective and fastest improving school systems in the world and to tackle the weaknesses currently identified within our system.
