Pupils at Gaeltacht school 'have little Irish when they start' [corkman.ie]
- Published: 07 July 2011
FACILITIES at Ballyvourney school Scoil Abán Naofa, and the Irish language skills of incoming Infants, are not up to scratch, according to an evaluation by the Department of Education and Skills.
The report, released online last Thursday, commends the teaching practises and learning resources of the gaelscoil but has made reccommendations regarding the Infants classes and the school building.
The report states: 'it is obvious that the rooms being used are not suitable and that there is an urgent need for the provision of an effective learning environment for the pupils'.
The whole school evaluation (WSE) advised that the school hall and playground of the Muskerry Gaeltacht-school be refurbished and that issues with accommodation be addressed.
