Welcome to the Irish Second-Level Students' Union (ISSU)
Founded in 2008, the ISSU is the national representative body for school students in the Republic of Ireland, run by students, for students.
We strive to provide a transparent, democratic, and reliable organisation that gives second-level students a collective voice in their education and society. Our goal is to promote equal access to education, empower student councils, and tackle inequalities based on socio-economic backgrounds. We are committed to ending discrimination within the education system and ensuring every student can reach their full potential.
At the ISSU, we support students and councils in taking action, while addressing the challenges they face locally, nationally, and internationally.
