Number of Ukrainian students enrolled in Clare schools, revealed

THE NUMBER of Ukrainian children enrolling in primary and secondary schools over the past year has been revealed, with Clare statistics coming in as average.

The Department of Education has done a breakdown of each county’s enrollment numbers from 2022-2023. 

As of the end of the school year, 15,625 Ukrainian pupils had been enrolled in schools across Ireland. 928 of those went to Clare schools.

Data indicated an enrolment rate of 88% among Ukrainian children aged five to 18.

The dates of 12 May, in the case of post-primary schools, and 12 June, in the case of primary schools, were selected as final dates to account for any additional enrolments of Ukrainian pupils in the academic year 2022-23.

To assist with the transition of Ukrainian students and their families into Irish schools, Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT) continued to operate. 

These were hosted by the 16 regional education and training boards around Ireland and staffed by regionally-based education support personnel.
