Gaeltacht Education Conference
October 5, 2011
Eagraíocht na Scoileanna Gaeltachta will host their annual conference on education matters, and their AGM, on Friday, 14 October in the Ardilaun Hotel, Galway.
The aim of Eagraíocht na Scoileanna Gaeltachta is to strengthen Irish-medium education in Gaeltacht schools.
Many speakers will attend the conference including Deirbhile Nic Craith, (INTO) who will discuss the employment implications of merging small schools. Maolsheachlainn Ó Caollaí will discuss the Irish language at Leaving Certificate level, and Muireann Ní Mhóráin, (COGG) will speak on the topic of Gaeltacht pupils and the state exams. Special educational needs, and the current issues in this area as they relate to Gaeltacht schools will also be discussed on the day.
An election will be held as part of the AGM, to choose the General Directors of the organisation, and the Committee of Officers will be chosen from the elected directors, after the first meeting of the new board.
