'Educate to be Free' campaign hits Doire

Ógra Shinn Féin Doire launched their new National Campaign Educate to be Free on Saturday evening in the city centre with a leaflet drop to the people of Derry to highlight the problems that young people are facing within the education system.


Speaking at the Event Aoife Mc Naught Chair of Na Fianna Martyrs Cumann Doire said,

“This event will touch on all aspects of education, the main areas which we are focusing on is the cost of Living which University students have to face on a daily basis, An Ghaeilge- that every pupil in secondary school should have access to Irish Language education, the 11+ we are totally supportive of Catriona Ruane’s decision to abolish this elitist system and of course tuition fees which are a regular worry for families looking to send their children into third level education but are worried about the repayments.”

“We are planning to expand on this campaign and are already focusing on our next step which is to leaflet every secondary school in the City.”
