The Republic of Ireland is a small country of just over three and a half million people on the western fringe of Europe. It has been a self-governing state since 1922 and it is a member of the European Union.

Because of this, and despite a rapid growth in the rate of economic development since the 1960s, Ireland has preserved many of the elements of its distinctive national culture and identity, such as the Irish language, and a distinctive Celtic identity in literature and the arts. These factors are all reflected in the school system, which has roots not only in ancient Ireland but also in the developments of recent centuries.
