The National Parents Council Post Primary (NPCPP) represents and advocates for parents/guardians and their children in the post primary education system. We engage with the Department of Education and all other partners and stakeholders in education including students and parents of schools in all sectors.
 
Your school’s Parents Association’s engagement with the NPCPP ensures the best representation at national level, of your views and concerns and is crucial in ensuring the voice of post primary parents is active and heard at discussions and advisory group consultations where decisions affecting our children’s education are taken.
