Introduction of Irish Immigrant Education System

When immigrating to Ireland, investors with children must consider which school to send their children to. What do parents care about most, struggle most, want to know most and ignore most? Experts, in order to help parents clearly understand these concerns, the Irish education system is summarized as follows. Primary education stage

Ireland has eight years of primary education, including two years of preschool education and six years of primary education. There are nearly 3,000 primary education schools in Ireland, and there are also some private boarding schools in Britain. Unlike China, Irish children do not have to take a unified exam after completing primary education, and their grades are determined by the school's own exams.

Secondary education stage

Secondary education, like China, is divided into three years of junior high school and three years of senior high school. At present, there are more than 800 secondary education schools, about one tenth of which are boarding schools. These middle schools basically implement the teaching plan of the Irish Ministry of Education, and only a few will prepare for the British A-level exam.

Experts say that the first three years of secondary education are mainly aimed at secondary school diplomas. The second year is called the transition school year, which mainly focuses on students' interests and hobbies, and there is no formal examination. There will also be some welfare activities and regional activities interspersed in the course.

Higher education stage

Higher education in Ireland is divided into universities, technical colleges and educational colleges. These educational institutions generally belong to public schools, but in recent years, there have also been many private colleges focusing on business courses.

There are 7 universities and 14 polytechnics in Ireland, including 4 comprehensive universities. General undergraduate course 3 years, college undergraduate course 4 years.
