Fáilte curtha ag eagrais Ghaeilge roimh Fhochoiste Dála dírithe ar an nGaeilge
Bealtaine 7, 2013
Tá fógartha go gcuirfear fochoiste Dála nuabhunaithe in áit go luath ag a mbeidh an Ghaeilge ina hiomláine mar thosaíocht.
Feidhmeoidh an fochoiste faoin gComhchoiste um Chomhshaol, Iompar, Cultúr agus Gaeltacht agus is ar staid ghnéithe uile na Gaeilge a bheidh sé dírithe le béim ar leith ar chur i bhfeidhm ghealltanais na Straitéise 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge.
Ag Tóstal na Gaeilge a d’eagraigh Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge i mí Feabhra 2013, léirigh pobal na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta an-díomá maidir le cur i bhfeidhm na Straitéise 20 Bliain agus cuireadh i leith an Rialtais nach raibh freagracht ar bith á ghlacadh maidir leis an Straitéis féin, nó le ceisteanna móra eile na Gaeilge. Ag eascairt as leithéidí Thóstal na Gaeilge, agus cruinnithe poiblí eagraithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge agus Guth na Gaeltachta, chuir pobal na Gaeilge teachtaireacht láidir in iúl don Rialtas, is é sin nach leor na gníomhartha reatha ón státchóras i leith na Gaeilge.
Chuir Conradh na Gaeilge fáilte roimh bhunú an fhochoiste an tseachtain seo caite. Dúirt Julian de Spáinn, Ard-Rúnaí Chonradh na Gaeilge: “Tá deis an-mhaith ag an bhfochoiste seo éisteacht leis na páirtithe leasmhara ar fad go mba chóir go mbeadh ionchur acu sa Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge 2010 – 2030 agus, mar a rinneadh mar chuid den chomhairliúchán ar an Straitéis roimhe seo, b’fhiú don fhochoiste éisteacht a chur ar bun sa Ghaeltacht chomh maith.”
“Céim réamhghníomhach” atá tugtha ar bhunú an fhochoiste úir ag Kevin De Barra, Stiúrthóir ar lár-chomhairle phobal na Gaeilge, Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge, agus dúirt “Bhraith pobal na Gaeilge nach raibh an Rialtas ag tabhairt aird ar bith orthu le cúpla bliain anuas – tá moill ar fheidhmiú na Straitéise 20 Bliain, tá moill ar an Athbhreithniú ar Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla, agus ní fios cá seasann todhchaí na Comhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta. Tabharfaidh an fochoiste seo deis don Rialtas scagadh ceart a dhéanamh ar na saincheisteanna tábhachtacha seo, agus déanfaidh Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge cinnte go dtabharfar aghaidh ar bhuairt an phobail.”

Over 75 per cent of School Leavers go on to Higher and Further Education and Training
Bealtaine 7, 2013
New research shows that over 50 per cent of students who were enrolled in the final year of Senior Cycle in a Department of Education & Skills-supported post-primary schools in 2010 went directly to higher education. A further 28 per cent progressed to further education, training or continued second-level education. Some 10 per cent took up employment while 7 per cent had Social Welfare claims.
In another new study, DES has also tracked early leavers, who left DES-supported post-primary schools between the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 academic years. This research, which forms part of a new data series, found that 55 per cent of these early leavers went on to further education or training or continued in second-level education in Ireland such as Post-Leaving Cert (PLC) courses. A further 14 per cent were enrolled in education or training outside of the State and amongst the early leavers, 6.6 per cent had Social Welfare claims while another 6 per cent had joined the workforce during 2010.
Minister for Education and Skills, Ruairí Quinn T.D., welcomed the new data series. “This new research will provide a baseline for tracking school leavers in the years ahead and will fill current data gaps. It will enhance the information used by the Department to plan for the future education needs of our school leavers.”
Data showing where school leavers went after completing the Leaving Certificate in 2010 is contained in School Completers – What’s Next? It found that of the 54,824 school leavers that year, 44per cent went on to study for a Higher Education course in a HEA funded Institution. Another 20 per cent enrolled in PLC courses and 5 per cent repeated the Leaving Certificate. An estimated 4 per cent enrolled in colleges abroad, predominantly in the UK, including Northern Ireland, just over 2 per cent were estimated to have enrolled in a non-HEA funded Institution.
The research shows that 66 per cent of students who attended fee-charging schools progressed directly to higher education compared to 47 per cent from the non-fee charging secondary sector. Some 42 per cent of students from comprehensive schools, 38 per cent from community schools and 34 per from the vocational sector progressed directly to higher education. In terms of students attending DEIS schools, some 24 per cent went onto higher education compared to 49 per cent overall from non-DEIS status schools. Over 57 per cent of pupils attending all-Irish schools also enrolled in higher education courses.
The Early Leavers – What Next? report focussed on students who left DES aided post-primary schools before enrolment in the final year of Senior Cycle and were last enrolled in the academic year 2009/2010. It shows that 57 per cent of the 7,713 early school leavers left after the Junior Certificate cycle or enrolment in Transition Year. Some 55 per cent of Early Leavers went on to further education or training or continued second-level education in Ireland. A further 13.9 per cent were enrolled in education or training outside of the State. Of those Early Leavers who did not continue in the education sector, 6.6 per cent were seen to have social welfare activity at the end of December 2010. Of the remainder, 6.1 per cent found employment during 2010.
Female early school leavers left at an earlier stage than their male classmates with over 20 per cent leaving after the first or second year of the Junior Certificate or JCSP cycle compared to less than 20 per cent of males. Another 25 per cent of females left after year three of Junior Certificate/JCSP compared to 21 per cent of males.

These two reports are the first in a series of reports by the Department of Education and Skills (DES) that track school leavers a year after they leave school. This evidence-based research has been compiled using the Higher Education Authority (HEA) Student Record System, the Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) awards database (now the Quality and Qualifications Ireland), the FÁS dataset, the Central Records System of the Department of Social Protection and P35 files (employer end-of-year returns) from the Revenue.

Aonaid lán-Ghaeilge – Polasaí GAELSCOILEANNA TEO.
Bealtaine 3, 2013
Is é misean na heagraíochta GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. ná an gaeloideachas a chur chun cinn agus tacaíocht a thabhairt do phobail a dteastaíonn uatha córas gaelscolaíochta a fhorbairt ina gceantar féin.
Tá sé cruthaithe go hidirnáisiúnta gurb é an modh is éifeachtaí chun sealbhú teanga a thabhairt do dhaltaí scoile sa dara theanga ná iad a thumadh sa teanga sin i rith an lae scoile (an córas tumoideachais). Leis an sprioc seo a bhaint amach ní mór do na daltaí bheith saor ó thionchar na mór-theanga agus an tumadh seo ar siúl. Is é an córas is fearr chun sin a dhéanamh ná gaelscoil nó gaelcholáiste a chur ar fáil ina bhféadfaí gach ní a bhaineann le saol scoile a chur i bhfeidhm trí mheán na Gaeilge.
Is é polasaí GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. iarbhunscoil neamhspleách a bhunú le leanúnachas san oideachas lán-Ghaeilge a thabhairt do dhaltaí gaelscoileanna agus le deis a thabhairt do dhaltaí ó scoileanna eile teacht ar an tumoideachas ag leibhéal na hiarbhunscoile. Is í taithí ghairmiúil GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. ná go bhfuil sé i bhfad níos casta iarbhunscoil lán-Ghaeilge a bhunú i gcomparáid le bunscoile lán-Ghaeilge. Mar sin, ar uairibh bunaítear Aonaid lán-Ghaeilge i scoileanna lán-Bhéarla mar chomhréiteach. Déantar é seo de bharr cúinsí logánta a bhaineann de gnáth le tíreolaíocht agus daonra an cheantair nach bhfuil leordhóthanach chun scoil neamhspleách a bhunú ag an tús.
Tá deacrachtaí agus dúshláin ag baint leis an tumoideachas in Aonad thar mar a bhaineann le gaelcholáiste neamhspleách. Chun teacht thairis na dúshláin sin bíonn bun-thacaíocht de dhíth ar Aonaid chun gaeloideachas éifeachtach a chur ar fáil dóibh siúd a chuireann a muinín sa chóras sin. Sa cháipéis thíos leagtar amach polasaí GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. maidir leis an struchtúr cuí atá de dhíth d’fhorbairt na n-Aonad lán-Ghaeilge ag an dara leibhéal. Eascraíonn an polasaí seo as plé leis na hAonaid lán-Ghaeilge atá bunaithe agus as plé le Bord Stiúrtha na heagraíochta. Tá breis eolais maidir le hAonaid lán-Ghaeilge ar fáil ach teagmháil a dhéanamh leis an oifig;oifig@gaelscoileanna.ie nó 01 8535195.

Over 4,600 students to get new classrooms under next phase of public private partnership school building plan
Bealtaine 3, 2013
The Minister for Education and Skills, Ruairí Quinn T.D., today announced details of the schools that are to be delivered in Bundle 5 of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) school building programme.
An existing primary school, St Philomena’s National School in Bray, Co. Wicklow and three post- primary schools, Eureka Secondary School in Kells, Co. Meath, Coláiste Raithín in Bray, Co. Wicklow, and Loreto College in Wexford, will get new school buildings under this new bundle.
A VEC college in Carlow town currently providing Post-Leaving Certificate courses and mainstream second-level education will be replaced with two new institutions. The joint campus will comprise a post-primary school and a further education college, each catering for 1,000 students.
The projects, due to be completed by the end of 2016, will see some 4,650 students benefit from state of the art classrooms and facilities. Local communities will also benefit, as many schools make their grounds and buildings available for a range of community activities.
It is expected that approximately 750 jobs in construction will be created.
Minister Quinn said, “These school building projects which will give an important boost to employment in the construction industry and have knock-on benefits to the local communities.
“The PPP model, through which the private sector bears the initial cost of building projects, strengthens our capacity to deliver much needed school places at a time of financial difficulty.
“I am confident that these developments will serve students and communities for many years to come.”
Part of the Government’s Economic Stimulus Package announced by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Brendan Howlin T.D., in July 2012, Bundle 5 has a total indicative value of €50-€60 million.
