The Advisory Council for English Language Schools (ACELS) was established under the auspices of my Department to administer standards in language schools and organisations through a quality assurance scheme supported by a programme of inspections. Language schools meeting the standards required by the ACELS scheme are recognised by my Department. The list of recognised organisations is published on an annual basis and currently numbers 112. The other information requested by the Deputy is being compiled and will be forwarded as soon as possible.
