Empowering our community through Education Lifelong Learning Research Knowledge
Dynamic Drimnagh actively supports and encourages the community to influence matters affecting their community’s well-being. We have a strategic community plan that is cohesive and inclusive for the future development of Drimnagh. This plan respects our heritage while facing the future.
- Our goal is to ensure that the benefits of education and learning are accessible to every member of our community. As the demographics of Drimnagh change, so too must our approach to education. The quality and relevance of formal education must be aligned with these shifts, allowing for an expanded curriculum that embraces both global developments and local needs. The rapid advancement of technology has revolutionised communication in our world, and Drimnagh must keep pace with these innovations. By prioritizing information technology in our schools, we can foster social mobility and transform Drimnagh into a vibrant SMART community, ready to thrive in the future.
- The availability of school and preschool spaces in Drimnagh must be monitored to address the needs of the growing community. This includes ensuring access to Irish-language schools or multi-denominational options without overburdening existing educational services.
- Our community must be equipped with the essential skills to tackle the challenges of climate change, digital transformation, and the evolving needs of its members. The rapid changes in the economy and advancements in technology require a focus on practical skills training rather than solely on academic achievements. It is important to provide accessible and affordable vocational training opportunities for those seeking to upskill or re-enter the workforce. Drimnagh has a significant number of early school leavers. By ensuring that all community members have access to necessary education, skills training, and lifelong learning opportunities, we can foster a resilient and vibrant community where everyone can contribute and participate.
