There’s still time to enter the Recognising Learning Endeavour Awards 2019.
Open College Network NI (OCNNI) has extended the nomination deadline for its inaugural
Learner Awards to noon on Friday, December 7.
OCNNI is an educational charity and an awarding body that advances education by
developing nationally recognised qualifications for adults and young people throughout Northern Ireland.
The first Learner Awards ceremony takes place at Stormont Buildings on March 5.
The Recognising Learning Endeavour Awards 2019 will cover a range of categories including schools, further education and voluntary sector learner of the year, an inspiring
tutor/teacher award, wellbeing learner award and an educational provider award.
All applications are welcome but special consideration will be given to candidates who have
overcome significant social, economic or educational barriers that were preventing them
from realising their full potential.
Martin Flynn, CEO of Open College Network NI (OCNI) said they have had an excellent
response so far but have decided to extend the closing date to ensure that as many groups and individuals as possible have the opportunity to nominate worthy contenders in the
respective categories.
“We have tried to accommodate as many education sectors as we can in the hope of providing a recognition platform for those groups and individuals who have taken learning in its widest sense to the core of their everyday activities.
“The awards will recognise the achievements of learners who seek to achieve their goals in life and work and their tutors/teachers and educational providers who help enable them to succeed,” he added.
