Thank you Deputy for your question,

The most recent figures available (30 June 2022) show that a total of 7,285 students from Ukraine have enrolled in schools (5,047 primary, 2,238 post-primary) across all 26 counties. At that point, a total of 1,462 schools had students from Ukraine enrolled (1,041 primary, 421 post-primary) across all counties.

I can also inform you that, as of the same date, there were 75 Ukrainian young people enrolled in fee-charging schools at post-primary level. My Department does not hold enrolment data on fee-charging primary schools.

It is the Department's intention to release updated figures on enrolments of Ukrainian children and young people in schools in October, however these figures do not include data on fee-charging schools. Officials from my Department will update you on figures related to fee-charging post-primary schools once they are made available.
