DEPT OF EDUCATION SURVEY – HAVE YOUR SAY
The current Dept. of Education survey on the future of patronage in the primary sector is important in that it will shape the discussion on primary school divesting for the years to come throughout the Republic of Ireland. The survey is school specific and needs to be responded to by all parents and prospective parents locally.
It is important that those who wish for a change in         patronage would have their voice heard. It is equally important that those who wish for a Catholic education for their children, and the support for sacramental            preparation available in Catholic schools, would have their voice heard also. For those reasons and to ensure that an accurate picture emerges, please participate in this survey if you are a parent or a prospective            parent of a Primary school student. 
The survey can be accessed at www.gov.ie/primaryschoolsurvey/. It closes on Tues, Dec 16th
