Educate Together in secondary school move

PARENTS have been invited to a public meeting in Cork next week to discuss setting up one of the first second-level Educate Together schools in the country.

It follows the decision by the Government earlier this year to give the multi-denominational schools group the right to establish and run second-level schools.

Until this year, parents had a choice of sending their children to a second-level school run by Catholic religious orders, or to a community, vocational or comprehensive school.
