In 2024, ten schools in Ireland transitioned from single-sex to co-educational status, reflecting a broader trend driven by parental demand for mixed schooling environments. Locations included Cork, Dublin, Donegal, and Sligo. The shift highlights a desire for diverse subject offerings and convenience for families. New data indicates that over 292,000 students are now in co-educational settings, with research suggesting social benefits for children attending mixed schools. The migration from traditional single-sex schooling is also spurred by declining enrollments in some Catholic institutions.
