A significant new research report into educational underachievement in controlled schools – commissioned and funded by the Transferor Representatives’ Council (TRC) – has been launched by Stranmillis University College.
The TRC represents the Church of Ireland, Presbyterian Church in Ireland and Methodist Church in Ireland in all matters of education in Northern Ireland. It is recognised by the Department of Education as the body representing these Churches with regard to education, and in particular school governance.
Beyond the Stereotype is based on group interviews with principals, teachers and pupils in eight primary and post-primary schools in suburban, town and rural areas, and also with school governors and other leaders in those communities.
