We are pleased to inform you that Ireland’s Department of Education and Youth will once again offer its Guidance Support Service to the European Schools during the 2026/27 school year, aimed at pupils, parents and teachers. This year, to mark Ireland hosting the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the webinar series Exploring Next Steps and Pathways in Ireland is being expanded as a one-off initiative to include all Accredited European Schools, including the European School of Alicante.

The webinars will take place on 6, 13 and 20 October 2026, starting at 19:00 (Central European Time), and will cover further education and training pathways in Ireland, an introduction to Irish higher education institutions, and the application process through the CAO (Central Applications Office). Registration will open in September 2026. For any questions, please contact guidance@education.gov.ie.
