LabelTarget achieved: schools encourage understanding of history
Question text People have ideas for the kind of society Northern Ireland should become. For each of the following statements, can you tell me on a scale of 1 to 10 whether you think that the idea has been achieved. You can give a score of 1 if you think that it has definitely not been achieved and a score of 10 if you think that it definitely has been achieved, or you can give a score somewhere between 1 and 10 if you think it has been partly achieved. You might not personally agree with some of the ideas but please score them anyway. Schools in Northern Ireland are effective at encouraging understanding of the complexity of our history.
