All children who are non-Irish nationals and resident in Ireland, including children of asylum seekers, refugees, migrant workers and unaccompanied minors can access pre-school, first and second level education in a manner similar to Irish nationals, until they have reached the age of 18 years.
The Education system does not track whether a child enrolling in a school is in direct provision and does not, therefore, have statistics on the number of second level students who are in direct provision.
