EQI Director Discusses School Choice and School Evaluation in the Irish Times

EQI Director, Prof Joe O'Hara, contributed to two Irish Times articles today discussing issues relating to choosing a school and reading whole school evaluations. Emphasising the overall quality of Irish schools, O'Hara discussed the importance of engaging with all aspects of the school while keeping the needs and interests of the child at the heart of any decision. He recommended that parents closely read the Whole School Evaluation reports that are available on the Department of Education website to get an overview of the school and to visit the school on open nights and on other occasions when it is open to the public.
