flag Ireland launches a three-year plan to boost youth Irish language use in schools, but critics say it lacks ambition and targets.

flag A new three-year plan aims to boost Irish language use among youth in Irish schools, focusing on inclusive, immersive learning and teacher training. flag While welcomed by advocates like Julian de Spáinn of Conradh na Gaeilge, critics say the plan lacks ambition, setting no targets for expanding Irish-medium education or improving fluency. flag They urge reforms inspired by Wales’ flexible assessment system, which allows students with learning difficulties to demonstrate proficiency through oral exams. flag The initiative includes language support hours, digital resources, and expanded programs, but falls short of systemic changes needed to reverse the language’s decline.
