Cross border help for Inishowen schools 12.04.07

Inishowen schools can look forward to cross-border benefits arising from the new Department of Education in the North.
North Ireland's Education Minister designate, Caitriona Ruane, said cross-border co-operation was the best way of meeting the educational needs of the island.
"The exchange of best practice, the development of the professionalism of teachers and all involved in education and improved mobility of teachers are all examples of how we can practically work together for the good of our young people.
"The opportunities are exciting, enabling us to pool our expertise and achieve better outcomes," Ms. Ruane told the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) conference in Sligo yesterday. The incumbent Sinn Fein minister, said she believed North and South could "move beyond the divisions of the past".
"Together we can move forward to ensure that every young person in Ireland can achieve their full potential," she said.
"We have a real opportunity to develop confident young citizens, able to work together, to create secure and prosperous futures for themselves and for future generations."
