Northern Ireland Assembly Education Service

The Northern Ireland Assembly Education Service provides free educational programmes and resources for young people and teachers, on the history, role and work of the Northern Ireland Assembly. Working with MLAs, the Education Service aims to engage with young people and help them understand:

• the relevance of the Northern Ireland Assembly;
• how the Assembly works; and
• how young people can get involved.

Programmes and resources are designed to support the school curriculum and equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to influence democratic decision-making. Relevant curriculum areas include Learning for Life and Work (LLW), Language & Literacy, Personal Development and Mutual Understanding, Government and Politics, and History. We also offer programmes for school councils and eco-councils. Our website is produced in partnership with CCEA (Council for Curriculum, Examination and Assessment).
