The Inspectorate conducted a thematic evaluation of the provision for English as an Additional Language (EAL) in 30 primary schools and 15 post-primary schools in 2008. Each school was issued with an individual report setting out the findings and recommendations relating to EAL provision in the school. General findings and conclusions from this evaluation activity have been included as part of the Department's Value For Money (VFM) review of EAL provision which is currently being finalised. The Inspectorate is preparing composite reports on the quality of EAL provision in primary and post-primary schools and these will be published on the Department's web site in 2010.
