Paul Givan calls for boycott of meeting due to MLA behaviour (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The education minister has told his officials not to attend a Stormont committee due to what he called "unacceptable behaviour" by a Sinn Féin assembly member (MLA). In a letter to the education committee Paul Givan said that the vice-chair Pat Sheehan was "unable to refrain from inappropriate treatment and questioning of departmental officials". But the committee chair, Alliance MLA Nick Mathison, called the minister's move "unprecedented and unacceptable". Speaking in the committee on Wednesda
Northern Ireland has no unique student 'brain drain' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is no student "brain drain" specific to Northern Ireland, according to experts. Brain drain is a phrase often used to describe the numbers of students who leave Northern Ireland to study and live elsewhere.

School meals: EA clarifies use of halal chicken after 'misinformation' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Education officials have clarified the use of halal chicken in Northern Ireland school canteens after what they described as "misinformation" circulating online. The Education Authority (EA), which oversees schools, said it was putting out the information as it had been "singled out for online commentary" at the start of the new school term. The authority said that the decision to serve some halal chicken as part of school meals was mainly down to supplies of chicken. Halal food is prepared acco
