A spokesperson for the Department of Education said, “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, education support services and national support structures in relation to people arriving from Ukraine. Information for parents in Ukrainian and Russian on accessing school places is available on gov.ie/Ukraine.”
The department added that it will continue to publish figures on the enrolment of Ukrainian children each month.
