The Programme for Government sets the overarching direction for strategic planning in Northern Ireland, with the Children and Young People Strategy underpinning its implications for children and young people.
This is supported by other, education specific strategies, and these inform the Department of Education's (DE) priorities which are outlined in their draft five-year Corporate Plan 2023-28, Every CHILD. Key priorities actions are then included in the EA Business Plan.
The EA's Vision is 'To inspire, support and challenge all our children and young people to be the best that they can be."
The Communications Strategy is a key enabler to support the delivery of key strategic priorities outlined in the EA’s Business Plan.
