Language Upskilling Opportunities
Language Pilot Upskilling Scheme
The growing interest in foreign language learning in primary schools has been bolstered by the publication of the Primary Curriculum Framework, which will introduce modern foreign languages (MFL) within the primary school setting as part of a redeveloped Primary Language Curriculum.
We are currently working with course providers on offerings that will be made available in early 2025 – more details will be available in the new year. We would encourage you to sign up for our newsletter and follow our social media channels for updates. For additional information regarding language upskilling for primary teachers, please email primaryupskilling@ppli.ie
Language Upskilling Opportunities:
140 teachers availed of the opportunity to upskill in a foreign language as part of the pilot in 2023/2024. The Department of Education has made more funding available for the roll out of a wider language upskilling scheme to be administered by PPLI. Details of the courses will be available in early 2025.
