National School Review by Dept. Education
March 3, 2011
The Department of Education is currently looking for submissions in relation to a review they are undertaking at present relating to small national schools (less than 50 pupils).
Many small Gaeltacht schools will be affected by this review and there may be cases where schools could be asked to amalgamate with other schools where the medium of instruction is not Irish.
Guth na Gaeltachta is asking supporters to demonstrate support for these schools by making a submission to the Department of Education outlining the importance of these schools for language support and the local community in general.
Submissions need to be sent in before 18 March.
