Over the course of the last decade, notable changes in education have occurred throughout the international community. While many of these changes have taken place in the context of primary education, research demonstrates that changes have also taken place on the post-primary or secondary level. Specifically, Ireland has made a number of changes to its post-primary education program over the course of the last several years. Shevlin (2002/2003) notes that in the last several years, Irish schools have moved toward a more inclusive environment that embraces individuals form a host of backgrounds. In the past segregation in schools based on academic ability at both the primary and post-primary level has been common. However, new research on the issue seems to suggest that the inclusive school has a number of inherent benefits for the development of both academic performance and the self-esteem of the child.
