Catholic Education, an Irish Schools Trust (CEIST) is the trustee body for 107 Catholic Voluntary Secondary Schools in Ireland.
History[]
In Ireland, the majority of secondary schools were established and were controlled by a number of Roman Catholic religious congregations. By the late 20th century, these congregations were in serious decline and they decided to merge their resources in a number of collective school management groupings known as trusts.[1]
The CEIST was established in 2007 to carry on the education work of five religious congregations:
- Daughters of Charity
- Presentation Sisters
- Sisters of the Christian Retreat[2]
- Sisters of Mercy
- Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.[3]
Organisation[]
CEIST CLG was incorporated in May 2007. The religious congregations appointed 16 CEIST members - 11 religious and five lay. The board of directors has 12 members - three religious and nine lay.[4]
Day-to-day management remains the responsibility of each school's management, in accord with the Education Act 1998.[5] The schools are supported by the trustees from the central office.[6]
It currently[when?] oversees approximately 58,000 students and 4,000 teachers and administrative staff. Currently,[when?] one in six second level students in Ireland attends a CEIST secondary school.[7]
