Primary school honoured for introducing students to Italian

BUSINESS group IBEC has honoured a primary school on Cork's northside for teaching Italian.

It has also called on the Government to expand such programmes to all primary schools.

IBEC said the Modern Languages in Primary Schools pilot programme, through which the fifth and sixth class students of St Mary's on the Hill, Knocknaheeny, are learning Italian, should to be integrated into the mainstream curriculum and made available in all schools.
