IoD NI School Governors Breakfast Briefing
Strong governance is central to school improvement, and the skills, experience, and strategic insight of business leaders can play a transformative role in supporting educational outcomes.
Delegates will hear directly from the Education Authority and the Department for Education on the current landscape, the opportunities for business engagement, and the practical steps required to strengthen governance across Northern Ireland’s schools.
The session will explore:
• Why business leadership skills matter in school governance
• How improved governance supports educational performance and long‑term economic competitiveness
• The pathways for business leaders to become governors
• How employers can support staff to take on governance roles
• Current priorities and perspectives from EA and DfE
