Feidhmeannach Rith 2016 (faoi oiliúint)
Is féile náisiúnta teanga é Rith 2016 a bheidh ar siúl ón 4-14 Márta 2016 mar cheann de phríomhimeachtaí Sheachtain na Gaeilge. Is bliain faoi leith í 2016 agus chun ról na Gaeilge in imeachtaí stairiúla 1916 a chomóradh, tá cúrsa dúshlánach leagtha amach agus tabharfar cuairt ar gach contae ar an oileán.
Is é cuspóir Rith 2016 ná an Ghaeilge agus cultúr na hÉireann a cheiliúradh go feiceálach i bpobail ar fud na hÉireann.
Is tréimhse taithí oibre neamhíoctha é an post seo ó mhí Eanáir 2016 – Aibreán 2016. Beidh an té a cheapfar ag plé le Rith 2016 ach beidh deiseanna comhoibriú ann le feachtais Chonradh na Gaeilge ar nós Sheactain na Gaeilge agus Plé ’16.

Coláiste Eoin i mBÁC ar an scoil is mó a sholáthraíonn mic léinn d’institiúidí tríú leibhéal de réir liosta nua
Nollaig 3, 2015
Cuid mhaith scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge ar an liosta nua de na scoileanna is mó a sholáthraíonn mic léinn d’institiúidí tríú leibhéal. Colásite Croí Mhuire gan Smál ar an Spidéal an scoil Gaeltachta is airde ar an liosta.
Tá Coláiste Eoin, scoil lán-Ghaeilge i mBaile Átha Cliath, ar an scoil is mó sa stát a sholáthraíonn mic léinn d’institiúidí tríú leibhéal, de réir tábla atá foilsithe ar maidin san Irish Times.
I measc na scoileanna Gaeilge eile atá ar an liosta nua de na scoileanna is mó a sholáthraíonn mic léinn d’institiúidí tríú leibhéal, tá Coláiste Íosagáin i mBaile Átha Cliath; Gaelscoil Luimnigh agus Laurel Hill Coláiste FCJ i gcathair Luimnigh; Coláiste na Coiribe sa Ghaillimh; agus Coláiste Oriall i Muineachán.
Is í an scoil Ghaeltachta is airde ar an liosta ná Coláiste Croí Mhuire gan Smál ar an Spidéal i gConamara.
Tuairiscíonn an Irish Times go bhfuil scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge go mór sa treis ar an liosta agus máitear go bhfuil an scéal amhlaidh mar go mbíonn togha agus rogha na ndaltaí ag scoileanna áirithe.
“Some over-subscribed fee-paying schools and gaelscoileanna are also in a position to cherry-pick students, unlike those in less well-off areas which therefore tend to have a higher proportion of students with additional needs,” a deir an Irish Times.
Is minic éilíteachas curtha i leith scoileanna Gaeilge agus is minic líomhaintí dá leitheid séanta go láidir ag na scoileanna féin agus ag eagraíochtaí gaeloideachais.
Bíonn conspóid ag baint chomh maith leis na táblaí scoileanna a fhoilsítear gach bliain san Irish Times.
Sna liostaí ‘feeder schools’ seo, déantar iarbhunscoileanna a mheas bunaithe ar líon na ndaltaí a théann ar aghaidh uathu go dtí an tríú léibhéal tar éis na hArdteistiméireachta, slat tomhais róchúng ar chaighdeán agus fairsinge an oideachais, dar le mórán.
Dúirt Finín Máirtín, príomhoide Choláiste Eoin i Stigh Lurgan, an scoil a bhain barr liosta an Irish Times amach i mbliana, gurb fhíor go bhfuil an scoil lan-Ghaeilge lonnaithe i gceantar atá go maith as ach nach raibh sa mhéid sin ach cuid den scéal.
Bhí baint chomh maith ag múinteoirí agus tuismitheoirí ‘díograiseacha’ na scoile leis an rath a bhí uirthi, a dúirt Mairtín.
“If a parent decides to send their child to an all-Irish school, they perhaps know they will have to be more involved in their child’s education. It’s nice to top lists but it’s not something we set out to do,” a dúirt Máirtín agus é faoi agallamh i mBéarla san Irish Times.
Fee-paying schools dominate high-points courses
Nollaig 3, 2015
Table-topping Coláiste Eoin in Stillorgan bucks trend as one of just three non-fee-paying schools in top 10 with high progression rates.
Fee-paying schools continue to dominate the tables showing how many students progressed to high-points courses in college.
What we have designated as high-points courses are those at the seven universities, the teacher training colleges such as Mary Immaculate College; plus the Royal College of Surgeons and DIT. Generally, courses in these colleges require a higher level of points for entry than other colleges, including some institutes of technology.
Fee-paying schools largely command the top 30 in this table. This has been an ongoing trend in The Irish Times Feeder Schools tables for a number of years. Given that the State pays for these schools’ teachers’ salaries, it leaves scope for the use of fees for educational resources and facilities that can greatly benefit their students’ education. Some fee-paying schools may also resist enrolling children with educational difficulties.
While the fee-paying schools dominate, a boys’ Gaelscoil in Stillorgan tops this year’s table. Last year Coláiste Eoin had a progression rate of 89 per cent (joint 15th) but climbed to first this year with a 115 per cent progression rate to high points courses.
This figure includes students who sat the Leaving Cert in Coláiste Eoin in other years, and then accepted a place on an undergraduate course this year.
Coláiste Eoin’s sister school, Coláiste Íosagáin, ranked joint ninth in this year’s table with Muckross College, Dublin.
Both schools have a high-points course progression rate of 96 per cent. These three schools are the only non-fee paying schools that cracked the top 10 list. Other schools in the top 10 are Gonzaga College at number two with 109 per cent, St Vincent’s Castleknock College at number three with 108 per cent and the Teresian School, which falls from first to fourth place, at 105 per cent.
Gaelscoileanna continue to do well in sending students to high-point courses. Seven Irish-speaking schools feature in the top 30 list. These include Coláiste Cois Life, Lucan, with 83 per cent; Gaelcholáiste na Mara, Arklow, with 78 per cent; Meanscoil Garman 73 per cent and Coláiste na Coiribe, Galway with 74 per cent.
A bilingual school, Coláiste Iognáid in Galway, takes the 19th spot with an 84 per cent progression rate.
These figures do not tell us specifically where the class of 2015 ended up. The progression rates detailed here include not only this year’s Leaving Cert students, but also students who previously attended the schools listed. They may have deferred their place, they may be going back to college as mature students, or they may have repeated their Leaving Cert in another school or a grind school.
Schools in university towns or cities tend to have a large proportion of their students opting to attend the local university. Cork, Kildare, Limerick and Galway schools feature in the top 30 list but are largely outnumbered by Dublin.
Only two schools in the top 10 are outside of the capital. These are Cistercian College, Roscrea, with a student progression rate on to high-points courses of 103 per cent (fifth); and Clongowes Wood College in Kildare with 97 per cent (joint eighth). Both are fee-paying schools.
Some non-university counties are listed in the top 30. These include Gaelcholáiste na Mara in Arklow with 78 per cent; St Peter’s College in Meath with 78 per cent and Loreto College Cavan with 72 per cent.
Kilkenny College with 77 per cent (joint 25th) also features.

USI calls on parents to send children to Gaelscoileanna
Nollaig 3, 2015
Bilingual students in second and third level with high ability in Irish and English outperformed their monolingual peers in mathematics, even when assessed through English – their second language of learning.
“The mental gymnastics needed to constantly manage two or more linguistic systems increases cognitive flexibility and makes learning easier,” said Dr Dora Alexopoulou from the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics in the University of Cambridge.
Gaelscoil attendance continues to grow across the country with areas outside the Gaeltacht and in Gaeltacht areas recording increased numbers year-on-year. The number of pupils attending both Irish-medium primary schools outside of the Gaeltacht went from 33,205 in 2013/14 to 34,476 in 2014/15 and those receiving education through Irish in Gaeltacht areas increased from 7,347 in 2013/14 to 7,485 in 2014/15.*
“USI is encouraging parents across Ireland to consider sending their children to a Gaelscoil or a bilingual school,” Kevin Donoghue, USI president said.
Highlighting the advantages offered by the development of literacy in two languages, Mr Donoghue said bilingualism “has numerous positive effects for students including increased understanding of maths concepts and problem-solving, resistance to Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, and a greater cultural awareness.”
Julian de Spáinn, spokesperson for Conradh na Gaeilge, said all children should have the opportunity to be educated bilingually.
Mr de Spainn said bilingual education offers linguistic, educational, social, cultural and personal development benefits for children.
“Gaelscoileanna offer this form of education and we believe that there should be more Gaelscoileanna established to satisfy parent demand for this form of education as there is plenty of evidence that supply is in no way meeting the demand.”
