  • Schools in Ireland? Analysing Feeder School Performance Using Student Destination Data
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Which are the "best" schools in Ireland? Analysing feeder school performance using student destination data Borooah, Vani and Dineen, Donal and Lynch, Nicola University of Ulster, University of Limerick, University of Derby 2009 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/75680/ MPRA Paper No. 75680, posted 21 Dec 2016 17:11 UTC Which are the "best" schools in Ireland? Analysing feeder school performance using student destination data+ Vani K. Borooah* University of Ulster Donal Dineen** University of Limerick Nicola Lynch*** University of Limerick February 2010 Abstract This paper represents an investigation of the broad factors which underpin the success of feeder schools in terms of the proportion of their “sits” who proceed to third-level education and, also, in terms of the “quality” of their educational destinations. It distinguishes between three school types: public (non-fee paying, English language) private (fee paying, English language), and Gaelscoil (non-fee paying, Irish language). Both private schools and the Gaelscoileanna reported much better results than public schools. From this, the paper disentangles the nature of this advantage by investigating the extent to which private school and Gaelscoil advantage over public schools was predicated on better circumstances and/or on better responses to circumstances. Our results show that private schools and the Gaelscoileanna had a response advantage over public schools: if private schools and the Gaelscoileanna were constrained to responding to their circumstances in the manner in which public schools responded to theirs, the performance of private schools and the Gaelscoileanna would suffer. By constraining the coefficient responses of all three types of schools to be that of public schools, we arrive at a revised list of the "best performing" twenty five feeder schools in Ireland.

  • Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.

  • Religion in the Public Education System of Bulgaria
    RELIGION IN PUBLIC EDUCATION IN IRELAND1 PAUL COLTON2 Introduction The Irish education system is a crucible for social and political comment as well as controversy.3 The role of religion and religious groups in education is a dominant theme of that debate, as is the challenge of according each citizen rights afforded by Articles 42 and 44 of Bunreacht na hÉireann.4 This has been referred to as ‗a dormant crisis in waiting.‘5 The religious institutions are wrestling with the issues also.6 Religion and Education: A Cauldron of Debate The contemporary reality is remote from the vision put forward by Lord Stanley in 1831. He envisaged a system of national education in Ireland, which endeavoured ‗…to unite in one system children of different creeds.‘7 Today, the established educational framework is predominantly denominational in character. At the same time there are new religious groups (not exclusively Christian) either seeking their own schools or more multi-denominational schools. There is also a small, but vocal, group calling for a universal secular system of education.8 Others seek diversification of the numbers of patrons (religious and non-religious) 1 This paper will deal solely with the Republic of Ireland. The paper follows the Grille Thématique of the Consortium including the request to deal only with education prior to third level. For detailed reading on the subject of the law, children, education and religion in Ireland see J. Coolahan, Irish Education: History and Structure (1981, Institute of Public Administration, Dublin); D. Glendenning, Religion, Education and the Law (2008, Tottel, Dublin) Ch.9; D.

  • E ARLY University ENTRANCE at Dublin City University
    E ARLY University ENTRANCE at Dublin City University For Transition Year Students with High Academic Ability 2021 - 2022 Academic Year SEMESTEr I Invitation to Participate in the E.U.E. 2021 - 2022 Programme Dear Parent & Student, March 2021 The Centre for Talented Youth, Ireland is pleased to continue the Early University Entrance Programme at Dublin City University for Transition Year students of the 2021-22 academic year. This is an exciting opportunity! Early University Entrance gives students with high academic ability the opportunity to enrol as part-time students on one of several courses based on degree programmes at DCU. Taking a portion of the first year modules, Early Entrants attend DCU for one day each week, over 13 weeks, to study degree level material alongside similarly aged students. The 9 courses are: Biology, Business, Engineering, International Relations, Law & Politics, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology and Sports Science. The Early University Entrance programme has been running for several years and its evaluation composed my PhD thesis. The young students were found to have performed as well (and at times better) than the regular cohort of first year students taking the same modules. They suffered no ill-effects socially as there was a large group of similarly aged students. They learned much in terms of their chosen field of study, but also in terms of independent learning, self-organisation, the demands of learning at university level, high level writing skills and group work. You will read further in the brochure feedback from some of the original Early Entrance students. This brochure outlines the Programme and the courses available in detail.

  • Summer 2019 Newsletter
    BLACKROCK COLLEGE NEWSLETTER Summer 2019 Dear Parents, Niki Lauda, the Formula One racing legend, three times world champion, passed away on 20th May last. He had an extraordinary career which almost ended tragically when his Ferrari ploughed into the side of the track and burst into flames at the German Grand Prix in August 1976. Guy Edwards, a competitor in the race witnessed the car in flames behind him, stopped, ran back and pulled Niki from the burning car with the assistance of two other drivers who had followed his example. His actions saved Niki’s life. Niki Lauda despite the severity of the burns on his head along with several fractures and serious internal injuries, severe damage to his lungs and mucous membrane from the fibreglass fumes, was back behind the wheel within eight weeks and World Champion the following year. That is a remarkable story, but who was Guy Edwards? Guy Edwards raced in 17 Formula One Grand Prix. He was never on the podium (top 3); he never scored a point (top 6). However,he certainly made a huge impact on the sport… by stopping his car for a fellow driver. I recount this story in the aftermath of our wonderful Prize Day, when we recognised those who have excelled in academia and the Arts, who have given great service, who have shown leadership. Over 130 boys received awards, but how many ‘Guy Edwards’ are there in Blackrock who never make the podium, shake the hand of the Union President or receive the acknowledgement they deserve? I acknowledge and commend the many who make an enormous contribution to Blackrock, who make things happen, who pause to help another, whose presence in our community confirms that Blackrock is about service and love, the sharing of self, the giving of self.
