Over 400 Ukrainian children enrolled in Limerick schools
THERE ARE currently 462 Ukrainian pupils enrolled at schools across Limerick, according to new figures from the Department of Education.
A total of 284 Ukrainian children are attending primary school in Limerick, with 178 pupils enrolled at Post-Primary schools.
As of December 22, 13,753 Ukrainian pupils have been enrolled in schools across Ireland.
Out of that figure, 8,823 of these pupils have been accommodated in primary schools while 4,930 pupils have enrolled in post-primary schools.
To assist with the transition of Ukrainian students and their families into Irish schools Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT) continue to operate, hosted by the 16 regional education and training boards around Ireland and staffed by regionally-based education support personnel.
These teams are ensuring that clear, accessible information flows are in place between schools, local education support services and national support structures in relation to people arriving from Ukraine.
