Almost 1,000 Ukrainian pupils were enrolled in Galway schools at the end of the 2022/23 school year.
There are 628 children in primary schools in Galway, along with 325 Ukrainian teenagers in secondary schools here.
Nationwide 15,625 Ukrainian pupils had been enrolled in schools in Ireland by the end of the school year.
Of those, 10,141 pupils had been accommodated in primary schools while 5,484 pupils had enrolled in post-primary schools.
Among Ukrainian children aged from 8 to 15 years old in Ireland, 88% have been enrolled in school.
To assist with the transition of Ukrainian students and their families into Irish schools, Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT) continued to operate.
These were hosted by the 16 regional education and training boards around Ireland and staffed by regionally-based education support personnel.
These teams ensured that clear, accessible information flows were in place between schools, local education support services and national support structures in relation to people arriving from Ukraine.
