ETB Schools National Parents Association

The Etb-Schools-Npa is an organisation made up of all the Parents Associations in ETB schools. From these associations two parents in each area are elected to be the parents representatives on their ETB board. These parent representatives make up the executive of the association and meet approximately once every six weeks in school time.

In 2013 the 16 ETB’s were established replacing the 33 Vocational Education Committees (VEC’s). The ETB’s manage and operate second-level schools, further education colleges, multi-faith community national schools and a range of adult and further education centre’s delivering education and training programme’s.

The Etb-Schools-Npa provide support and guidance to parents associations by offering training and updates on educational matters. Along with providing regular talks on a variety of relevant topics.
