“An ill-qualified, confusing, ultimately detrimental sham.”
This was the UUP Educational Spokesperson Basil McCrea’s summation of the post-transfer test situation in Northern Ireland. On Thursday 12th November, he, along with representatives of the other main political parties took part in a debate on the abolition of the transfer test, chaired by the BBC’s Jim Fitzpatrick in QUB’s Great Hall. Taking part also were Sinn Fein Education Spokesperson John O’Dowd, SDLP Education Spokesperson Dominic Bradley MLA, Alliance leader David Ford MLA and Mervyn Storey, DUP MLA and chairman of the Assembly’s Education Committee.
