It’s been well over three years since a new Educate Together school opened in Ireland. Meanwhile, demand for equality-based education has never been higher.
Six counties still have no Educate Together school at all:
📍 Cavan
📍 Monaghan
📍 Leitrim
📍 Longford
📍 Roscommon
📍 Tipperary
That means families in these areas who want a child-centred, equality-based model for their children simply don’t have that choice.
The good news? Communities are ready. Demand is growing. And together, we can change this.

So … what exactly is Aitheantas? 🤔
We're so glad you asked!
Aitheantas is a brand-new Framework that helps higher education institutions strengthen teacher education programmes in Ethical, Multi-Belief and Values Education (EMBVE).
It means future primary teachers will be better prepared to teach in multi-denominational and equality-based schools.
And yes – the name Aitheantas is Irish for recognition or identity. That's exactly what this is about: recognising the skills teachers need for a diverse Ireland ☘️ 🌍
Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

🌟 Over 50 years of change — and it started with one school!
Meet Áine Hyland, a founder member of the very first Educate Together school – the Dalkey School Project. Over 50 years ago, a group of parents saw a need for a place where children of all religions and none could learn side by side, with equal rights of access ⚖️
Now, she’s “absolutely delighted” to see how Educate Together has grown – but the demand is still rising 📈

Our Primary Education Officer, Vera discusses student teacher preparedness on complex conversions in the classroom.
According to SCoTENS, 70% of teachers feel they are not prepared for teaching controversial topics in a diverse classroom setting.
That’s why we’ve developed Aitheantas – a new Framework to help primary teacher education colleges prepare graduates for the diverse classrooms of today and tomorrow.
This clip is from a longer interview with Vera on the PEACEPLUS ASPIRE Talks podcast by National Childhood Network. A really great listen!
