Gaeloideachas welcomes the guidelines from the Aonad Um Oideachas Gaeltachta regarding additional language support hours for Gaeltacht achools and Irish schools outside the Gaeltacht to support students from Ukraine in learning the language of their new schools, Irish. Gaeloideachas commends the school staff, and their communities, on the traditional Irish welcome they are showing their Ukranian guests. Gaeloideachas hopes that this additional support will be used as a model for targeted supports being provided to scoileanna Gaeltachta & lánGhaeilge when they welcome students with no Irish language background into their schools. The guidelines for Ghaeltacht schools are anseo and for Irish immersion schools anseo. Schools should fill out the online form U-TACAÍOCHT TEANGA 2022 for these additional support hours.
