The number of pupils from Ukraine in primary schools in Galway has risen to 517, while the number in secondary schools fell to 293.

To assist with the transition of Ukrainian refugees and their families into Irish schools Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT) continue to operate.

The Department of Education publishes the number of Ukrainian pupils in schools for each county every month.
