28th May 2009 - An Irish Education company is delivering a welcome positive message for teachers this Summer. Despite a challenging year which saw teacher-student ratios continue to increase, combined with the imposition of an effective salary reduction for teachers with the Government pension levy, Flúirse Education Solutions announced an innovative new approach to teacher’s annual summer training programmes…they’ve invited teachers to assist in designing their own courses! “It’s not as crazy as it first sounds,” explained Tomás Finneran, co-founder of Flúirse Education Solutions and Director of the company’s Teacher Training Programme. “Each year we train and support thousands of teachers in all aspects of using ICT in the Classroom. Teachers are not concerned with the inner workings of a digital camera, or the processor speed of their computer, they’re looking to us to help them use and integrate computers and technology into their classrooms and everyday teaching” |  |

Flúirse Education Solutions calls on Minister for Education and Science to give back some 10 million euro lost to schools in the continued delay to release any funding from the 252 million euro, promised before last year’s election, for investment in ICT and computers in Irish schools. Teachers, children and parents across Ireland should call for further funding for investing in computers, broadband and software in Irish classrooms immediately, according to Tomás Finneran, co-founder and Director of Flúirse Education Solutions, a company based in Kerry specialising in providing tailored educational resources for parents, teachers and children of primary schools throughout Ireland. By continuing to withhold the 252 million euro promised before last year’s election, for investment in ICT in Education, the minister has saved the substantial figure of 10 million euro when the rate of annual inflation is taken into consideration. In other words, the long awaited investment is already worth 10 million euro less in real terms. |  |

Flúirse disappointed in Minister's lack of vision in Budget's Education spend for School Infrastructure. Commenting on the Budget 2008, Tomás Finneran, Director or Flúirse Limited, states, “Whilst we welcome the announcement by the Minister to allocate €828 million of the total education budget of €9.3 billion to schools’ capital investment, we are disappointed that once again this government has failed to take any measures to address the continued lack of investment in, and support for, Information and Communications Technologies in our primary schools. Whilst this Government is starting to address the obvious physical infrastructure inadequacies, they are ignoring the increasingly outdated and inadequate ICT infrastructure.” |  |
