Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Regulation of the English Language Sector: Discussion

Mr. Brian Hearne:

I echo those points. We would like to see more inspections being carried out at the very least. There needs to be monitoring and enforcement of the regulations. We have heard that many international schools here offer quality classes but a small minority of schools are not offering the type of service they should be offering to their students. We want to ensure that the people who come here to study have a good experience, are offered a quality education and get what they pay for.
