18,291 Ukrainian pupils had been enrolled in schools across Ireland at the end of February. Out of that figure, 11,358 of these pupils had been accommodated in primary schools while 6,933 pupils had enrolled in post-primary schools.
This data indicates an enrolment rate of 90.2% among Ukrainian children aged 5-18.
The Department of Education thanks school communities and stakeholders at local and national levels across Ireland for their engagement, collaboration and support in accommodating Ukrainian pupils in Irish primary and post-primary schools.
To assist with the transition of Ukrainian students and their families into Irish schools, Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT) continue to operate.
These are hosted by the 16 regional education and training boards around Ireland.
These teams continue to make sure 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.
