Today, I practice to reading skill. I read about BBC news. I read news about Belfast meeting over funding of Northern Ireland schools.

            Belfast meeting over funding of Northern Ireland schools About 40 people attended the public meeting to discuss school funding. People have been giving their views about how schools are funded at a public meeting in Belfast. The panel recommended a simpler funding formula and financial incentives so that smaller schools are better off if they join with schools nearby.  

            Schools already have a mechanism for responding to the consultation but, in keeping with the minister's views, we wanted to be able to engage with a wider audience.
