DES: The Minister for Education and Skills, Joe McHugh T.D. today (Monday, 1 April 2019) attended Gairmscoil Mhic Dhiarmada, Arranmore to launch the Gaeltacht Irish-medium e-Hub pilot project.
Minister McHugh said “This innovative digital project will provide Gaeltacht post-primary students with the opportunity to access online a greater range of subjects through the medium of Irish. This three-year pilot project is based on comprehensive research completed on similar e-learning initiatives globally, where students supplement their existing curriculum with online courses, when those subjects are not available in their own school. This digital project will greatly enhance the capacity of Gaeltacht post-primary schools to extend their curricular provision for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).” Read article
