Catholic schools to promote multiculturalism

CHILDREN of more than 100 different nationalities are being taught in primary schools in the Dublin Diocese, it was revealed yesterday.

Archbishop of Dublin Dr Diarmuid Martin said he had initiated a dialogue with the leaders of other faiths in the capital to ensure the needs of all children in Catholic schools are attended to.

As he launched a new intercultural web resource for teachers, Archbishop Martin said he had begun the dialogue to ensure children are never the objects of discrimination or marginalisation.
