Unauthorised absences were more frequently reported as a barrier to learning in DEIS schools
A new report has found that students in DEIS and non-DEIS schools have similar levels of wellbeing and positive feeling.
The study was conducted by the Educational Research Centre abd kiijed at the home and school environments of 15 year olds in both school types.
It found unauthorised absences were more frequently reported as a barrier to learning in DEIS schools compared with non-DEIS schools.
There were, however, no notable difference in reports of bullying either, and students in DEIS and non-DEIS schools have similar levels of access to broad range of extra-curricular activities.
Dr. Lorraine Gilleece is a Research Fellow at the Education Research Centre and co-author of this report.
She joined Clem Ryan on Thursday's edition of Kildare Today.
