REVEALED: Number of Ukrainian students attending Tipperary schools revealed

Figures released by the Department of Education have revealed that 320 Ukrainian boys and girls have become students in the county's primary and secondary schools.

The Department of Education confirmed that as of 1 March, that 195 students have been enrolled in primary schools, along with 125 attending secondary schools in the Premier county.

In total, 14,931 Ukrainian pupils have been enrolled in schools across Ireland and out of that figure, 9,650 of these pupils have been accommodated in primary schools while 5,281 pupils have enrolled in post-primary schools.

Current data indicates an enrolment rate of 91% among Ukrainian children aged 5-18.

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.
