Education minister Ruairi Quinn today announced an overhaul of the enrolment policies in all schools in an attempt to end practices that discriminate against certain pupils.
Publishing a discussion document on admissions policy, Mr Quinn said that "central to this debate on enrolment is the need to ensure a fair and transparent system at all of our schools, which does not discriminate unfairly against students or parents".
The document, 'Discussion Paper on a Regulatory Framework for School Enrolment', contains suggestions on how to make the process of enrolling at either primary or second level schools more open, equitable and consistent.
