Fáilte Ireland operate the Ireland Scholarship Programme in a number of priority markets, with funding from my Department, as recommended in the International Education Strategy 2010-2015. This programme is aimed at English language teachers and provides recipients with a period of study in Ireland. The intention is that these language educators will become advocates for an English language education in Ireland in promotional campaigns in their home country. In 2011/12, scholarships were awarded to language educators in the priority markets of Japan, Korea and Turkey. Information on the programme is available on www.irelandscholarship.com.
