The Irish government also implements the English education policy. This is very important for Ireland's labor market. English students studying in Irish schools provide them with great advantages in the international market of English globalization.

All children living in Ireland have the right to education. After immigrating to Ireland, you are entitled to free preschool, primary and secondary education, but you still have to pay for school uniforms, books, stationery and any school trips. There are also some private schools that need to pay fees every year. School uniforms are common in schools at all levels, but they are different in different schools. Subsidies were provided for this purpose. Although it is most common for children to start primary school at the age of four or five, in Ireland, all children between the ages of six and 16, or until the students complete the second stage of education for three years, including the junior high school certificate examination, are compulsory.
