Department of Education Survey on the Future of Primary School Patronage
The current Department of Education survey on the future of patronage in the primary sector is important. It will shape the discussion on primary school divesting for the years to come throughout the Republic of Ireland.
It is important that those who wish for a change in patronage have their voice heard. It is equally important that those who wish for a Catholic Education for their children and for those who would wish for sacramental preparation within school would have their voice heard also. For those reasons and to ensure that an accurate picture emerges, please participate in this survey if you are a parent or a prospective parent of a primary school student.
The survey can be accessed at www.gov.ie/primaryschoolsurvey.
