Irish School Support Programmes

Abstract

The presented material is a concise report on research carried out on the Irish school support programs. The article consists of two parts. The first part contains a description of families to whom the support is addressed. We also briefly describe the history of Irish educational support programs. More precisely, we describe the DEIS programme, which focuses on addressing the educational needs of children and young people from disadvantaged communities. The second part focuses on a definition of educational disadvantage. We consider support programs in the context of social reproduction and colonisation. We pose a question: “How to avoid the colonization of subaltern groups?” The article ends with an attempt to describe the topic from a critical pedagogy point of view.
