Almost 6,000 Ukrainians now enrolled in Irish schools

Close to 6,000 Ukrainian pupils are now enrolled in Irish schools, with more than two thirds taking their places in primary schools, as refugees from the war-torn country settle into Irish life.

The Department of Education said that as of the end of last week, some 5,843 Ukrainian pupils are in schools across the country, with 3,968 in primary schools and 1,875 pupils in post-primary.

Specialist teams have been set up across the country’s education and training boards to assist in the transition, the department has said.
