Cead tugtha ag an Roinn Oideachais an luath-thumoideachas Gaeilge a chur i bhfeidhm
Samhain 13, 2015
Fógraíodh inniu dhá leagan de Churaclam Teanga na Bunscoile, leagan amháin do scoileanna Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta agus leagan eile do scoileanna a bhfuil an Béarla mar theanga theagaisc iontu.
Ní dhéanfar aon idirdhealú idir an chaoi a múintear an Béarla agus an chaoi a múintear an Ghaeilge i mbunscoileanna an stáit feasta.
Fógraíodh inniu dhá leagan de Churaclam Teanga na Bunscoile, leagan amháin do scoileanna Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta agus leagan eile do scoileanna a bhfuil an Béarla mar theanga theagaisc iontu.
Leagtar síos i gciorclán nua atá eisithe ag an Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna inniu go cuirfidh an curaclam nua an struchtúr céanna i bhfeidhm ar an nGaeilge agus ar an mBéarla i mbunscoileanna.
Ciallaíonn fógra an lae inniu go mbeidh cead anois ag scoileanna lánGhaeilge agus scoileanna Gaeltachta an luaththumoideachas a chur i bhfeidhm go deireadh rang na naíonán sinsearach.
Is do pháistí óga óna naíonáin bheaga go rang a dó atá an curaclam nua deartha agus díreofar ar scileanna i bhforbairt na teanga labhartha, na léitheoireachta agus na scríbhneoireachta.
‘’Leasú suntasach a mbeidh fáilte roimhe é seo ar conas a fhoghlaimíonn na daltaí is óige a gcuid scileanna teanga. Den chéad uair, ní bheidh idirdhealú ann sa chur chuige idir teagaisc na Gaeilge agus an Bhéarla.
“Tá torthaí foghlama soiléire agus clocha míle forbartha leagtha síos sa dá theanga dár bpáistí óga,” a dúirt an tAire Oideachais Jan O’ Sullivan.
Cuirfear an curaclam nua i bhfeidhm de réir a chéile ó mhí Mheán Fómhair na bliana seo chugainn agus beidh gach snáithe den churaclam nua á múineadh do pháistí faoin mbliain 2018.
Le linn na scoilbhliana 2016/17 cuirfear béim ar an teanga labhartha, tosófar ar an léitheoireacht agus scríbhneoireacht sa scoilbhliain 2017/2018 agus ó mhí Mheán Fómhair na bliana 2018 ar aghaidh cuirfear na snáitheanna go léir den churaclam nua i bhfeidhm do ranganna na naíonán go rang a dó.
Táthar ag súil le tús a chur le curaclam nua do ranganna ó rang a trí go rang a sé sa bhliain 2019.
Bhain conspóid mhór le cinneadh an iarAire Oideachais Mary Hanafin sa bhliain 2007 ciorclán a eisiúint a chuir cosc ar an luath-thumoideachas Gaeilge i scoileanna. Dúirt Hanafin ag an am go mbeadh an dalta a gcuirfí luath-thumoideachas air faoi mhíbhuntáiste ina dhiaidh sin dá gceadófaí a leithéid. Dúirt sí go dtógfadh sé ocht mbliana an taighde a dhéanamh faoi impleachtaí an luath-thumoideachais.
Cháin eagraíochtaí Gaeilge go láidir an tAire Hanafin ag an am agus cuireadh ina leith go raibh neamhaird déanta aici ar thaighde náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta a thaispeáin nach míbhuntáiste ach a mhalairt a bheadh ag an bpáiste a gcuirfí luath-thumoideachais air.

Fáilte roimh mhaoiniú d’aonad ASD i nGaelscoil Bhaile Brigín
Samhain 10, 2015
Local TD, Alan Farrell (FG) has welcomed the allocation of funding to Gaelscoil Bhaile Brigín, Balbriggan, for the development of an ASD unit classroom for children with autism.
He said, “I am pleased that Gaelscoil Bhaile Brigín has been allocated funding from the Department of Education and Skills for an ASD unit classroom in the school.”
“The provision of facilities, such as ASD classrooms is of the utmost importance in terms of supporting children with autism during their time in our education system. We must work to ensure that all children in our schools in the North County and throughout the country, receive the greatest possible benefit from our education system. In order to do this, it is necessary to provide our schools with all of the necessary investment and resources to adequately support the needs of all students. It is essential that all children who require additional assistance and support during their time in education receive precisely that.
“I am delighted that Gaelscoil Bhaile Brigín is receiving this investment from the Department of Education and Skills. With the youngest population in the state, North County Dublin is home to a large number of families with children in full-time education. It is vital that we provide schools throughout the North County with the necessary investment to ensure our children receive a high-quality education in an environment which is conducive to their learning. I will continue to actively engage with the Minister of Education and Skills, and her Department, to gain further supports for the future development of schools throughout the constituency,” he said.

Oideachais ceoil ar fáil do chách i nGaelcholáiste an Chláir
Samhain 10, 2015
Music Generation has launched a programme at Ennis Community College and Gaelcholáiste an Chláir to bring music education to as wide a range as possible of young people.
With funding from U2, The Ireland Funds, The Department of Education, and Local Music Education Partnerships, Music Generation is now operating in 12 counties.
In Clare, the programme is managed by Clare Music Education Partnership, led by Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board in partnership with Clare County Council, University of Limerick, Clare Education Centre and St.Vincent de Paul.
Programme manager for Clare, Emer O’Flaherty, attended a launch event at the Ennis campus of the Gaelcholáiste and Community College last week, together with the professional music tutors who will participate in the programme.
Lessons have commenced on Wednesday afternoons in the following areas: concertina and fiddle led by Pádraig Rynne; beginners’ guitar with Eoghan Judge; and more advanced guitar with Mike Varden.
Lessons are heavily subsidised, in line with Music Generation’s goal that no child be denied music tuition due to economic circumstances, and instruments are provided where necessary.
This is the latest initiative at the schools, which have a well-established tradition of musical excellence.
The College Ceili Band is a well established feature at events inside and outside the schools, and includes several All-Ireland winning young musicians in its ranks. The students practise every Tuesday and recently performed for a Scottish delegation which visited Gaelcholaiste an Chlair.
The two colleges also host a Modern Music Club and a Choir, both of which meet on Wednesdays.
The new Music Generation programme will provide group or individual lessons as required and the students will perform at a concert in May 2016.
To date, 42 students at Ennis Community College and Gaelcholáiste an Chlair have signed up for the tuition.
