This week's Sunday Times ( 11 Mar 2012) has published a new guide to what it defines as the "top 400 secondary schools" in the Republic of Ireland - including many of the schools listed in our own guide to secondary schools. They ranked the schools on the basis of "the average proportion of pupils gaining places in autumn 2009, 2010 and 2011 at one of the nine universities on the island of Ireland, [the] main teacher training colleges, Royal College of Surgeons, National College of Art and Design, or any English, Welsh or Scottish University or equivalent". As well as listing the proportions of the schools' students that got into universities, the article also listed proportions of students that got into to universities and institutes of technology combined.
