BBC News By Robbie Meredith Published How teachers are trained in Northern Ireland reinforces "educational division and duplication" along sectarian lines. That is argued in a newly published briefing paper from Ulster University's Unesco centre of education. It calls for a "radical review and redesign" of initial teacher education in Northern Ireland. There are four institutions in Northern Ireland who provide Bachelor of Education (BEd) or Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) degrees. They are Stranmillis University College, St Mary's University College and the schools of education at Queen's University (QUB) and Ulster University (UU). "Demand for places in these institutions is consistently high and the application process is very competitive," the Ulster University (UU) report into community division and student separation in initial teacher education said.
