  • The End of Stormont and Imposition of Direct Rule in 1972 Dr Marc Mulholland, St Catherine’S College, Oxford
    The End of Stormont and imposition of direct rule in 1972 Dr Marc Mulholland, St Catherine’s College, Oxford Between 1969 and 1972 a large number of reforms were passed. The Electoral Law Act of 1969 introduced adult suffrage in local elections, abolishing the ratepayer’s franchise. All local government boundaries and wards were redrawn. A Parliamentary Ombudsman and a Commissioner for Complaints adjudicated complaints of discrimination brought against all layers of government. Following a report by Lord Hunt, the Royal Ulster Constabulary was disarmed and ‘civilianised’. It was no longer directly responsible for operational policy to the Minister of Home Affairs: instead a new representative police authority was set up. The Ulster Special Constabulary was abolished altogether, to be replaced by a new part-time security force incorporated into the British Army – the Ulster Defence Regiment. Prosecutions were depoliticised with the establishment of an independent Director of Public Prosecutions. A Ministry of Community Relations was set up, as was an independent Community Relations Commission. The 1970 Prevention of Incitement to Hatred Act applied the criminal provisions of the English Race Relations Act of 1965 to sectarian cases. Local Government was generally emasculated as gerrymandering was squeezed out. In 1971 a Housing Executive was set up to deal with public authority house building, cutting local government out of this field altogether. Houses were allocated on an objective points system.[1] Certainly there were inadequacies in the reform package, particularly as regards effective legislation against discrimination.[2] Nevertheless, change was real and substantial. Unionists in particular feared that they were being deprived of independent means of defence.

  • Northern Ireland
    SESC, December 2017 Briefing paper: Northern Ireland Introduction The history of education in Northern Ireland is characterised by its sectarian divisions. Whilst there is a dominant strain of Celtic exceptionalism in the history of Welsh and Scottish education, the political struggle between Unionists and Nationalists has obscured investigation into the cultural distinctiveness of education in Northern Ireland in the context of the United Kingdom. For the entirety of our period, all schooling in Northern Ireland has been denominational. The Protestant and Catholic churches have been formidable forces in educational practice and policy, both through the ownership and management of schools and in extra-parliamentary agitation for reform and/or the defence of the status quo. A central question for sociologists has been whether segregated education (denominational schooling) causes or reflects community division in Northern Ireland? This focus has spilled over and largely characterised the little historical enquiry into education in Northern Ireland that exists. The consensus is that educational segregation is not the cause of sectarian division, but that division has been reinforced and amplified by schools upholding ‘two distinct cultural and political identities’ (Daly and Simpson, 2004). With this context in mind, it is worth asking if it is possible to write the history of secondary education in the UK since 1945 as one single, experiential story? There is almost no literature on secondary education in the UK since 1945 that includes Northern Ireland, thus we might choose to focus on the interaction between segregation and other factors that define educational experiences, including age and class. There are important methodological questions to ponder here, if our source material is separated by region.

  • From Shared Schools to Shared Space: Integrated Education Initiatives in Northern Ireland in Comparative Perspective
    From shared schools to shared space: integrated education initiatives in Northern Ireland in comparative perspective Shaun McDaid University of Huddersfield, Centre for Research in the Social Sciences Abstract Political parties and the general public in Northern Ireland usually agree that community relations could be improved by more widespread provision of ‘integrated education’ in the region (Lucid Talk, 2014). Integrated schools in Northern Ireland involve children from both the Catholic/nationalist and Protestant/unionist communities being educated together in the same classroom. Currently, most children from a Catholic/nationalist background attend Catholic schools, whilst the majority of their Protestant/unionist counterparts attend state schools. This article compares the policy on integrated education pursued by the first power‐sharing executive (1973–74) with those of the current executive. The evidence suggests that there has been a drift away from integrated to shared education models, where the only true sharing taking place is of the facilities and infrastructure (DOE, 2013). The latter kind of school is much less likely to lead to the promotion, at an early age, of tolerance and mutual understanding between the region’s two main communities. The evidence therefore suggests that the first power‐sharing executive, during a more difficult security climate, had a considerably more ambitious integrated education policy than its contemporary counterpart, ostensibly operating in a post‐conflict context. Key words: Northern Ireland; community relations; peace process; segregation; power‐sharing; sectarianism Introduction Despite the passage of almost seventeen years since the signature of the Belfast/Good Friday peace agreement, Northern Ireland remains plagued by inter‐ communal sectarian divisions between the Catholic/nationalist and Protestant/unionist communities.

    Journal of Global Citizenship & Equity Education Volume 2 Number 2 - 2012 journals.sfu.ca/jgcee When All Else Fails: The Critical Role of Civil Society in Addressing Northern Ireland’s Segmental Autonomy Zealan Hoover Moorehead-Cain Scholar University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Keywords: Consociationalism; Structuralism; Constructivism; Contact Theory; Divided Society; Integration ABSTRACT: Northern Ireland remains a deeply divided society. The education system mirrors the broader societal divisions between Catholics and Protestants and the vast majority of students experience an education that remains almost wholly segregated based on religious identification. This paper places that segregation in a political context, by analyzing how the type of political system has impacted education reform as it relates to the development of an integrated education sector. Northern Ireland provides a unique opportunity to test the impact of political systems on education reform because, over the past ninety years, the state has been governed under majoritarian home rule, direct control by an external actor, and consociational home rule. Despite the deeply segmented education system, a group of parents began a concerted push for integrated education beginning in the 1970s. Over the course of three decades, their advocacy spurred substantial reform and served as the catalyst for an integrated education sector that now serves more than five percent of elementary and secondary students. The successes and failures of that movement provide strong empirical evidence that no matter the political system in place, civil society is critical to promoting integrated education reform in deeply divided societies. “Even if the last move did not succeed, the inner command says move again.” - Seamus Heaney Introduction Northern Ireland’s education system has changed remarkably little over the past two hundred years.
