Ireland in 2024, where is it impossible for non-Catholic children to avoid religion in almost 90% of our state-funded primary schools. With a further 6% being Church or Ireland and a meagre 4% multidenominational, our school system is not fit for purpose #edchatie #equalrespect

When will we release that the Irish school system is an outlier in Western Europe? Yesterday’s Irish Independent featured a piece by @BarbaraENeeson where parents shared their experience of trying to opt out of religious instruction when 95% of national schools are faith-based…
Divestment or reconfiguration, whatever you call it, the policy is an abject failure… bit.ly/3CqTZpj #edchatie #equalrespect
