Nationally there are 15,458 Ukrainian pupils enrolled in schools across Ireland.

Out of that figure, 9,987 of these pupils had been accommodated in primary schools while 5,471 pupils had enrolled in post-primary schools.

Current data indicates an enrolment rate of 89% among Ukrainian children aged 5-18.

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

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

These teams are ensuring 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.

Information for parents in Ukrainian and Russian on accessing school places is available on gov.ie/Ukraine.
