Equate is a children’s rights education reform campaign and we published a new national opinion poll* on education reform yesterday.Key findings include:

46% would not choose a Christian school for their child if they had a choice locally
1 in 5 people are aware of someone who has baptised their child just to get them into the local school
77% do not think a school should have the right to refuse admission to a child who has a different religion to that of the school’s patron
62% think reform of school patronage should be a key priority for next Government

There has been so much talk in the media about reform to education over the past few months and these figures show that Irish people want to see that reform soon!
