For those in the protection process and of school going age the provision of education is organised and delivered though mainstream education providers, which include primary and post-primary schools. Adults may avail of English language classes provided by Education and Training Boards (ETBs).  These classes are open to all adults resident in the State, including those in the protection process and are provided in ETB premises.   Classes may also be provided by individual ETBs in certain centres where this is a more practical option for the benefit of learners.  

I understand that in addition to the above, there are also some privately organised English conversation classes and other classes for adults commissioned by some centres.  Such provision does not come within the remit of my Department or its agencies.
