The educational divide between affluent and less affluent areas in Dublin has been illustrated "in stark terms" by the 2022 Feeder Schools list.
The Irish Times annual feeder school lists was revealed today, and students attending schools in Dublin 6 (96 per cent), Dublin 2 (94 per cent), Dublin 6W, Dublin 4 and Dublin 14 (93 per cent) — all in south Dublin — have the highest chance of securing a college place. This compares with much lower third-level progression rates in Dublin 11 and Dublin 24 (both 48 per cent), as well as Dublin 12 (49 per cent).
The divide is also stark when the figures are broken down into those who secured places in traditional universities. In Dublin 4 and 6, more than two thirds went on to a university, compared with 23 and 21 per cent in Dublin 11 and 12 respectively.
