'Ranking Ireland last in terms of investment in Education, are a dire read – but they are not surprising' OECD

Ireland has been ranked as last out of 36 countries for investment in Education, according to a report published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development .

In response to the new data released today, Sinn Féin spokesperson for Education, Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire TD, has called the results "dire" and said the government should urgently improve the level of funding in Irish schools, and ease the pressure on parents. Ó Laoghaire said over the last few weeks, he has spoken with dozens of families who are being "crippled" by requests from their children’s schools of contributions up to €400 per child.
