Most parents of children in denominational schools want to keep existing ethos but more want co-education
"A majority of Irish parents want schools to maintain their denominational ethos, reflecting a strong preference for traditional values in education."
"The survey found that an even larger majority of parents wish for the schools attended by their children to be co-education, indicating a shift towards inclusive education."
A survey involving 3,200 primary schools in Ireland revealed that most parents want to keep the denominational ethos in schools. Additionally, a significant majority of parents expressed a desire for co-educational schooling for their children. The survey, conducted by the Department of Education, included responses from 200,000 households, indicating strong preferences regarding the future direction of school ethos, language, and co-education status, which will be determined locally.
