Children’s Agency in Multi-Belief Settings: The Case of Community National Schools in Ireland

Abstract: Childhood studies place emphasis on children's agency, their ability to understand their own world and act upon it. Children actively participate in meaningful social interactions both in formal and informal settings.

“…The study focused on better understanding the multi-denominational primary sector in Ireland across dimensions including school choice, student profile and school profile, with a focus on Educate Together Schools. In 2018, the ESRI published a number of papers with a focus on better understanding different characteristics of Community National Schools, including on the role of principals in creating inclusive school environments (Faas et al, 2018a), children's agency in multi-belief settings (Faas et al, 2018b), and variations in school ethos among schools within the same (multi-) denominational mission (Faas et al, 2019).…”
