View answerThe Department of Education and Skills uses its twitter account to amplify its messages relating to education policy. In the main these messages relate to press releases but also cover new information or campaigns relevant to its agencies or bodies that have an education message. In addition the Department retweets or refers to messages that are complementary to a whole of Government approach on relevant issues. The Department liaises with other Departments where necessary in this respect.
