The current state of education in rural regions of Ireland is a matter of grave concern. A study from 2016 revealed that 37.7% of the population in these areas only had a Lower Secondary Education, and among those with a bachelor's degree, merely 18% were from rural areas. This stark disparity signifies an urgent need for action to ensure that educational opportunities are not determined by geographical location. We call on the government to take immediate steps towards improving access to quality education in rural Ireland and bridging this educational gap. Sign this petition to support our cause for equal educational opportunities for all, regardless of where they live.

The stories coming in from rural schools are exhausting to read because they confirm exactly what we feared about the lack of resources. I am spending my evenings typing letters to officials who seem content to let these communities fade into the background. It is a long process but I am not walking away from this fight.

Seeing the momentum build feels heavy and significant given how long this issue has been ignored. The path ahead is exhausting but I am not walking away from this fight.

finally someone sayin it. the gap is huge and the government dont care cause we arent in the city.
its about time someone looked at the schools out west. my nephew has to travel an hour just for a decent class. disgraceful.
Keep at it! Rural Ireland needs a fair shot too. Tired of everything being just for Dublin.
FIX THE SYSTEM NOW. rural kids get left behind every single year. stop ignoring the country side.
good job on this one. hope they listen for once.
Arrows away , get ˋem back!
Arrogant away, geht ´em back!
