Awards for Commercial-Free Schools

category national | anti-capitalism | press release author Monday September 08, 2008 22:26author by CCFE - Campaign for Commercial Free Educationauthor address www.commercialfreeeducation.com Report this post to the editors

Calling all principals, teachers and parents!

Has your school said “No thanks” to commercial schemes such as supermarket vouchers and branded materials?

The INTO and the Campaign for Commercial-Free education would like to recognise and promote schools who have adopted a commercialism policy in line with INTO guidelines (see www.into.ie).

Representatives of the schools will be invited to attend a ceremony in the Teachers’ Club on Friday 26th September @ 8pm and given a certificate of achievement for display in their schools.

If your school has taken a stance on commercial schemes and wishes to be
considered for these awards, contact the CCFE at chairperson [at] commercialfreeeducation [dot] com.

All welcome.

This is a great initiative, and a noble endeavor, from CCFE (and I say this as both a member of the group, but also as secondary school teacher).

I sincerely hope that this initiative earns the kudos that something like the Green Flag (for clean, environmentally-conscious schools) has. The time has long since passed for us (as educators, students, concerned citizens) to rid our schools of commercial influences.

Sorry I won't be able to make the event (I'll be climbing Croagh Patrick with my Leaving Certs.) but I wish you all the best, and may our successes continue.

Mark.
