All-inclusive schools group will meet parents [IrishExaminer]
- Published: 05 September 2011
MEETINGS are being held this week for parents of prospective pupils at three planned primary schools in Cork by a multi-denominational group which hopes to open them.
Educate Together is applying for patronage of the schools, which will open in 2013 in the Douglas/Rochestown area of the city’s southside, Riverstown/Glanmire north of the city and Mallow in north Co Cork.
They are among 13 areas where the Department of Education says new primary schools will be needed in the next two years to cater for rising pupil numbers. The others are in Dublin, Galway and Kildare.
Education Minister Ruairi Quinn announced in June that new procedures to select a patron for new primary schools will be used.
