The Gaeltacht Education Unit continues to be supported by a team of inspectors since its establishment in 2017. A total of 6 inspectors are currently assigned on a part-time basis to support the Gaeltacht Education Unit in the provision of advisory visits to primary and post-primary schools participating in the Gaeltacht School Recognition Scheme in 2018/19. Inspectors will provide ongoing advice to schools on their action planning for improvement process to support the implementation of language-based criteria to strengthen Irish-medium educational provision in the Gaeltacht.
