This study aims to extend the Integrating Education project undertaken by the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education [NICIE] and funded by the International Fund for Ireland [IFI], by developing research to explore responses to cultural diversity in primary and postprimary schools. The rationale for the research is that many schools have a diverse pupil population, becoming more multicultural with time, and are subsequently engaged on a journey of integration/social inclusion.

On each occasion, the research questions were carried on the Millward Brown Northern Ireland Omnibus and the methodology has therefore remained constant, allowing for comparison across the three survey periods. The sample for the 2003 survey comprised 1,018 individuals selected using quota controls to be representative of the Northern Ireland population. In the previous surveys the sample size was 1,113 (2001) and 1,129 (2000). Answers to the survey questions were analysed by gender, age, religious denomination, geographical distribution, and social class.

Authors: Schubotz, Dirk; Robinson, Gillian Abstract: From 2003 to 2005, the Young Life and Times (YLT) Survey has monitored changing attitudes to community relations issues among 16-year olds across Northern Ireland. The data presented provide evidence that participation in cross-community schemes and attendance at planned integrated schools are positively related to how favourably young people from different religious backgrounds in Northern Ireland feel towards each other. The findings of the YLT survey also suggest that planned integrated schools in particular have a signifi cant impact on how their students view the other main religious community.
