Professor James Kelly will identify the contribution of the Vincentian community, examine the programme of instruction pursued in the Independent state, and its restructuring in the 1960s and 1970s. This endured until the 1990s when the College embarked on the relationship with Dublin City University that resulted in its incorporation into the University in 2016.

📚 What’s behind Ireland’s love of reading?

Consistency and deliberate, steady curriculum reform at primary school level have had a significant impact on Ireland’s reading standards, according to new research from Dr Patrick Burke and Dr Conall Ó Breacháin.

💡Their research examining 100 years of literacy education in Ireland found that trusting teachers, putting children at the centre of new and evolving curricula, and the growing recognition of the complexity of learning and teaching reading in schools have all contributed to the high standards of reading seen across Ireland.

📣 Inclusive education isn’t just an ideal, it’s a fundamental human right for every child and young person.

The Doctor of Education with a focus on Inclusive and Special Education examines the inclusion of marginalised learners and the challenges of ensuring educational quality and equity for all.

It explores the impact of policy, research and practice on equality in relation to a number of areas, for example, inclusion, special educational needs, disability and social justice; and, it considers other impacting factors such as poverty, race, ethnicity, social inclusion, creed, economic status, gender and other marginalising factors.

Teacher Wellbeing Research
Vast majority of teachers in Northern Ireland are experiencing work-related burnout, according to @dublincityuniversity Institute of Education research undertaken in collaboration with St Mary’s University College in Belfast
Speaking about the importance of the findings, Dr Sabrina Fitzsimons, from Dublin City University’s research centre said, ‘This study is a reminder that teacher burnout cannot be addressed through temporary measures or initiatives focused solely on enhancing teacher resilience in the face of ongoing stressors.'
This research was conducted by Pia O'Farrell, Catherine Furlong, Sabrina Fitzsimons in collaboration with Paul Hazzard of St Mary's University College, Belfast.

It explores themes such as global citizenship, sustainable development, the climate and nature emergency, and digital transformation through a social justice lens.
