1Ireland's preschool education

Pre-school Education

Ireland's early childhood care and education (ECCE) program can provide free early childhood care and education for preschool children. In addition to the ECCE program, preschool education is usually provided by a government-certified institution or group. The National Child Care Program (NCS) in Ireland will also provide subsidies to help parents pay for private childcare.

Common sense of Ireland schools

Common sense of Ireland

National schools in Ireland often use the initial letter with the name of the school to indicate that they are a national school:

• NS - National School

• GNS - National School

• BNS - Men's National School

• SN - Scoil Naisiúnta (Irish National School)

There are also some schools that use their Irish name, such as Scoil Bhríde NS. However, schools with Irish names do not mean that they will be taught in Irish.

If you want to apply for a primary school in Ireland, you must apply to the school in writing (through application forms, or letters, etc.) based on the admission notice and admission policies issued by the intended school.

3Secondary education in Ireland

Secondary Education

Secondary education in Ireland is divided into two stages: junior high school (about 12 to 15 years old) and high school (about 16 to 18 years old). Students usually start their junior high school education at the age of 12, and the courses mainly include basic humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and some elective courses. After 3 years of junior high school, students will take the Junior Certificate or Junior Phase Achievement (JCPA) exam.

High school education duration depends on whether you choose the "Transition Year" to experience different careers and accumulate experience to make future career choices. If the student chooses a transition year, the duration of high school education is 3 years. If you do not choose "Transition Year", the duration is 2 years.

After the high school education stage, Ireland students will take the exam to obtain a graduation certificate (Leaving Certificate), similar to the domestic "college entrance examination". The Irish college entrance examination will not limit the number of courses to be tested, which means that high school students in Ireland can choose multiple subjects to study without restrictions. You can also choose multiple courses for exams during the college entrance examination. However, the total score of the college entrance examination will be calculated based on the 6 highest scores in a single subject. The full score for the Irish college entrance examination is 625 points (the full score of 100 points for a single subject, and you can get 25 points for passing the high school mathematics subject). The Chinese language test also joined the Irish Leaving Certificate exam this year.
