Do Gaelscoileanna amount to educational apartheid?
Samhain 6, 2012
My husband wants our daughter to go to the local Gaelscoil, but neither of us is great at Irish.
He seems to think it will give her the upper hand in learning languages. I’m not so sure. I do know some parents who have openly said they send their children to Gaelscoileanna so they don’t have to deal with non-nationals. Seems crazy. baby pickle, magicmum.com
I don’t think Gaelscoileanna should necessarily be fee-paying, but I do think that the same level of education should be afforded any child with special needs as is afforded to a child with no special needs. I have encountered many people who are sending their child to a Gaelscoil or Church of Ireland school as they won’t be associating with members of the Travelling community and, in the case of the Gaelscoil, are less likely to have someone with special needs. ackee123, magicmum.com
I’ve definitely come across the reasons outlined in the [‘Irish Times’] article for choosing a Gaelscoil. I’ve also come across people with a love for the language and a desire for their children to enjoy Irish in a way they didn’t at school. There are good Gaelscoileanna in our area. We ruled them out in part because it would be hypocritical for us to send our children, given how little we feel for the language. novbaby31, magicmum.com
In our Gaelscoil we have six special-needs assistants, numerous children with every kind of disability, both learning and physical, several support teachers and numerous families where one or both parents were not born in Ireland. Blood. Boiling! yurm, magicmum.com

Low uptake on patronage survey so far in Castlebar
Samhain 6, 2012
With under a week left until the closing date for the survey on the future patronage of schools in Castlebar, the Department of Education is worried about the low uptake of the survey by parents.
Labour Party town councillor Harry Barrett told the Mayo Advertiser this week: “I’ve been in contact with Minister Quinn’s office about this during the week and they are concerned about the low uptake of the survey in Castlebar. A low turn out could skew the results and give a result that might not reflect the views of the majority. I urge all parents to take part in the survey and shape the future of their children’s schools.”
Castlebar is part of a small number of areas that were included in the initial survey phase and it can be completed on www.education.ie and the closing date is Thursday, November 8.

Bronnadh Seice ar Ghaelscoil na Deirge
Samhain 5, 2012
Chuaigh Pilib Ó Ruanaí príomhfheidhmeannach Iontaobhas na Gaelscolaíochta chuig cruinniú cinn bliana Naíscoil na Deirge le seic ar £13,000 a bhronnadh ar Ghaelscoil na Deirge, Caisleán na Deirge. Bunaíodh Gaelscoil na Deirge Meán Fómhair na bliana seo le freastal ar éileamh na gaelscolaíochta sa bhaile seo ar an teorainn idir Tír Eoghain agus Tír Chonaill.
Níl an scoil maoinithe go fóill ag an Roinn Oideachais, ach tá coiste na scoile ag súil le go leor daltaí amach anseo le go mbeadh an scoil maoinithe.
Ghlac cathaoirleach na scoile Maolíosa Mac Aodha go fonnmhar leis an deonachán a bailíodh ag oíche mhór ag deireadh mí Iúil in óstán The Europa i mBéal Feirste a bhí ann mar chuid de Scoil Samhraidh Mhic Reachtain. Bhí Seán Ó Coinn ó Fhoras na Gaeilge ina aoichainteoir ar an oíche agus luaigh sé gur ábhar dóchais dó go bhfuil lóchrann na teanga á iompair ag glún úr anois, nó is na daoine óga sin a chur an ócáid i dtoll a chéile. Ghabh Máirtín Mac Cathmhaoil – duine den tseanghlún – ó Chumann Mhic Reachtain buíochas le gach duine agus gach grúpa a thug airgead don tionscadal fiúntach seo.
Mhol Pilib Ó Ruanaí thar cheann InaG Cumann Mhic Reachtain i dtuaisceart Bhéal Feirste as an ócáid a thapú le hairgead a bhailiú don chúis seo.
‘Seod atá i Scoil Samhraidh Mhic Reachtain agus buaicphointe na feilire atá ann do ghaeil Uladh le 10 mbliana anois; seo an chéad bhliain i gceannas ag Ray Giffen agus scéal cinnte go rachaidh an tionscadal ó neart go neart amach anseo.
‘Bíonn gach tús lag agus tuigeann coiste Ghaelscoil na Deirge go mbeidh obair mhór rompu ag iompar scoile gan mhaoiniú ón stat. Ach tá siad cinnte go bhfuil éileamh don ghaelscolaíocht i gCaisleán na Deirge agus go músclófar suim tuismitheoirí eile nuair a feiceann siad gaelscoil ar leac an dorais acu a sholáthar oideachas den scoth.
‘Tháinig pobal an tuaiscirt le chéile i mBéal Feirste le lámh chúnta a shíneadh amach chuig grúpa beag atá ag iarraidh síol na Gaeilge a chur síos arís sa cheantar stairiúil sin.
‘Tá dul chun cinn suntasach sa tuaisceart i mbliana le bunú Gaelscoil na Deirge agus Gaelscoil Eoghain ar an Chorr Críochach agus aitheantas bainte amach ag Bunscoil na mBeann i gCill Caoil. Tá foirgnimh úra ag Scoil na Fuiseoige, Naíscoil an tSléibhe Dhuibh agus Gaelscoil Éanna i mBéal Feirste. Tá scéim caipitil £12m fógartha ag aire oideachais John O’Dowd do Choláiste Feirste agus scéim chaipitil do Bhunscoil Bheann Mhadágaín. Cúis chéiliúrtha atá ann agus is comhartha atá ann go bhfuil aire oideachais ann a thuigeann tábhacht na gaelscolaíochta sa chóras oideachais.
Guímid gach beannacht ar an tionscadal iontach seo agus go néirí go geal le Gaelscoil na Deirge amach anseo.’
Ghabh Maolíosa Mac Aodha buíochas do InaG agus do Chumann Mhic Reachtain as an deonachán
‘Tosaíonn gach aistear le coischéim amháin agus seo an chéad chéim i dtreo na gaelscolaíochta tugtha ag pobal Ghleann na Deirge. Agus le cuidiú Dé beidh an scoil seo ann i mbliana, an bhliain seo chugainn agus le blianta fada amach anseo ag déanamh freastail ar mhian tuismitheoirí atá ag iarraidh buanna an dátheangachais dá bpáistí.’
