The Irish Education Alliance is a teacher organisation that aims to provide oversight in relation to educational matters in Ireland, on behalf of children, parents and teachers. We have no political or religious affiliations. We are committed to the protection of children and the welfare of teachers. The IEA believes that the Department of Education, Teachers’ Unions and all other educational bodies are accountable to the people of Ireland and we will strive to ensure that all decisions and policies of these organisations are for the benefit of, and in the interest of, children, parents and teachers.
