Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This is a comprehensive book on education law in Ireland. The Irish education system is unique in Europe in that it is almost exclusively denominational. Among the principal provisions of the new education Bill are: (1) the establishment of new regional school boards; (2) the recognition of schools for the purpose of funding from public funds; and (3) the establishment, composition and functions of boards of management for schools. Legal issues impinge on almost every aspect of education: from issues such as tortious liability for injuries to teachers and students, the employment of teachers, school discipline to the State's responsibility for educating children with special needs. Membership of the European Union has also resulted in many changes arising from the principles of free movement, non-discrimination and the common vocational training policy.
