The Department of Education confirmed that, as of 1 December, 1,129 Ukrainian pupils have been enrolled in schools across Donegal.
Out of that figure, 742 of these have been accommodated in primary schools while 387 pupils have enrolled in post-primary schools.
Nationally, 13,323 Ukrainian pupils have been enrolled in schools. Out of that figure, 8,522 of these are in primary schools while 4,801 pupils have enrolled in secondary.
To assist with the transition of Ukrainian students and their families into Irish schools, Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT) continue to operate, hosted by the 16 regional education and training boards around Ireland and staffed by regionally based education support personnel.
These teams are ensuring that clear, accessible information flows are in place between schools, local education support services and national support structures in relation to people arriving from Ukraine.
Information for parents in Ukrainian and Russian on accessing school places is available on gov.ie/Ukraine.
The department said it will continue to publish figures on the enrolment of Ukrainian children each month.
