Education in Northern Ireland differs from education systems elsewhere in the United Kingdom (although it is relatively similar to Wales), but is similar to the Republic of Ireland in sharing in the development of the ''national school'' system and serving a similar society with a relatively rural population. A child's age on 1 July determines the point of entry into the relevant stage of education in the region, whereas the relevant date in England and Wales is 1 September. Overview As with the island of Ireland as a whole, Northern Ireland has one of the youngest populations in Europe and, among the four UK nations, it has the highest proportion of children aged under 16 years (21% in mid-2019). In the most recent full academic year (2021-2022), the region's school education system comprised 1,124 schools (of all types) and around 346,000 pupils, including: * 796 primary schools with 172,000 pupils; * 192 post-primary schools with 152,000 pupils; * 126 non-grammar post-pr ...
