evidence: The Irish Times Feeder School Tables revealed more students from DEIS-designated schools progressed to third-level in 2020 than in other years. However, the figures reveal socio-economic disparity still exists in third-level education. The Irish Times Feeder School Table is a collection of figures compiled by The Irish Times, indicating which school third-level students completed their second-level education. There are 198 DEIS-designated secondary schools in Ireland. The figures for 2020 show that 63.5%, or 6,662 of the 10,486 students from DEIS schools, progressed to third-level, in comparison to 57% percent in 2019. However, students from wealthy areas are still more likely to progress to third-level education. There are 51 Fee-paying schools in Ireland, the majority of which are located in south county Dublin. Fee-paying schools also account for over 50% of the top 10 schools with the highest progression rate. 85.5%, or 3,252 of the 3,803 fee-paying students who received calculated grades, progressed to the third level. This is a slight decrease from 2019 figures, although this may be attributable to students who took the Leaving Certificate in November.
