Religions and beliefs in changing times
Religions and beliefs are complex, contested and challenging aspects of the educational systems and cultural landscapes both in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) and in Northern Ireland (NI); part of a long and protracted history of colonial oppression and political struggles underpinned by religious and ethnic divisions.

This article provides an overview of this movement and highlights the issues surrounding equitable treatment of minority groups in society. There are pre…
