Towards the end of 2023 expressions of interest were sought from educational institutions and researchers to undertake a comprehensive critical examination and scrutiny of all of the research on immersion education carried out in Ireland. Dr. Claire Dunne on behalf of Marino Institute of Education was the successful recipient of the contract. Her final and complete analysis Immersion Education at Primary Level in Ireland: Insights from National Research, is available on COGG’s website for those who may wish to examine the research in greater depth.
The analysis of the research is extremely important in that it highlights the evidence that there are significant advantages associated with immersion education. It is essential that those research-based advantages are shared in an accessible way with schools and with the education sector in general, so that they can highlight this information for parents making choices in relation to their children’s education. This resource was developed for that purpose.
