Irish schools in English debate 爱尔兰拟实施小学 英语新政策引发争议


  THE recent statement by Ireland’s

  minister for education and science, Mary Hanafin, that the Irish-only policy in

  infant classes in all-Irish schools is to be curtailed, has been disputed by those

  involved in Irish medium education. Most all-Irish schools do not want to teach

  English in infant classes even for 30 minutes a day. They believe that if the

  teacher speaks English to the children in the early years, it will weaken the

  status of Irish as the school language.
