The Department of Further Higher Education Research, Innovation and Science, together with the Department of Education, SOLAS and Education and Training Boards Ireland are committed to ensuring a co-ordinated approach across schools and further education to meet the education needs of children and adults from Ukraine.
ETBI Statement on REALT:
The recently established Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT) will be hosted by the 16 regional ETBs and will be staffed by existing regionally based education support personnel.
The primary role of the REALT is to build on existing regional education support structures and the initial focus will be on assisting families in securing school places. REALT will also support schools in the area to meet the needs of these children as they emerge, to advise and support the Department in developing new capacity where required, and to co-ordinate the provision of education services to schools and families across their defined area.
These teams will ensure that clear, accessible information flows are in place between schools, local education support services and national support structures in relation to Ukrainian arrivals.
