Countries that have suffered ethnic or religious conflict and
become segregated societies reflect these divisions in education
provision for their children. Northern Ireland is a case study in
point where a parallel system of schools offers education in
Catholic maintained schools and Protestant (de facto) controlled
schools. While school segregation is the most obvious manifestation
of Northern Ireland's fractured society, there are more important
issues of 'educational inequality' with respect to schools and
pupils. This book analyses three issues in some detail:
segregation, educational performance and inequality in educational
outcomes between schools and between pupils from deprived and
affluent family backgrounds. Thus far public policies to tackle
these issues have been met with limited success. The authors
consider an alternative approach, which they term 'shared
education', the aim of which is to improve school performance and,
in so doing, to dismantle some of the barriers between maintained
and controlled schools.
