The Education Authority's new Controlled Schools' Unit (CSU) was formally launched at an event held at Belfast Boys' Model School. Education Minister Paul Givan joined school leaders and partner organisations to mark the occasion, which represents the first phase of recommendations from the Controlled Schools Taskforce. The CSU will provide dedicated support to controlled schools, the largest and most diverse sector in Northern Ireland, serving around 150,000 children and young people. More than 250 school leaders and partners helped shape the Unit's priorities.

Dunclug Primary School, a controlled school located in Ballymena has been awarded the British Council's International School Award for its exceptional work bringing global perspectives into the classroom.
