The Irish Second–Level Students' Union (ISSU) [3] is Ireland's national umbrella body for second-level students working through the student council network in second-level schools. [4] ISSU represents post- primary school students nationwide. [4]
ISSU's activities have three stated strands: it aims to provide training, guidance and advice to students and to equip them with the skills needed to become involved in the decision-making processes in their own school communities; and it aims to work with other organisations to bring the views of secondary school students to the attention of policy-makers and the media; and it aims to provide services to the membership of ISSU on the principle that control of those services lies with the membership. [5]
ISSU was founded in August 2008, from the remains of the Union of Secondary Students (USS) [6] which had been in existence from 2001 to 2008. It is a member of the Organising Bureau of European School Student Unions (OBESSU) [7] and the National Youth Council of Ireland. [8]
During September 2009, ISSU modified its name from the Irish Secondary Students' Union to the Irish Second–Level Students' Union to encompass all Irish post-primary schools. [9]
Students in Northern Ireland are represented by the Secondary Students' Union of Northern Ireland (SSUNI). [10]
