From 2029, children in Northern Ireland’s schools will have access to three languages @CCEA_info French, Irish and Spanish. By contrast, children in the Republic of Ireland can study one of sixteen curricular languages up to Leaving Cert at age 18. Let that sink in @paulgivan

No primary languages. What a missed opportunity to actually TransformED. Northern Ireland remains the only country in the landmass of Europe where all children do not have a right to learn a second language. Shameful.
