Tá lúcháir ar Institiúid Oideachais Marino a bheith ar an gcéad choláiste a chuireann Máistreacht Ghairmiúil san Oideachas trí mheán na Gaeilge ar fáil. Táimid fíorbhuíoch as tacaíocht COGG (An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta), atá ag tairiscint sparánachtaí do mhic léinn ar an gConair lán-Ghaeilge seo. Is mór an tacaíocht atá sna sparánachtaí seo do mhic léinn an chonair atá ag iarraidh dul i dtreo an earnáil lán-Ghaeilge i gcúrsaí oideachais ach go háirithe.”

Tuigeann COGG an tábhacht a bhaineann le hearcaíocht múinteoirí sna scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge agus Gaeltachta agus earcaíocht oidí atá spreagtha agus tiomanta maidir leis an nGaeilge.

Twelve students were awarded COGG bursaries for the Professional Master of Education (Primary Teaching) All-Irish Pathway in Marino Institute of Education, on Tuesday, 25 November 2025. Funded by COGG (An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta) in partnership with Marino Institute of Education, each student on the programme was awarded €2,000 per annum (€4,000 in total). The MGO is a two-year fulltime master’s programme, which focuses on primary initial teacher education through the medium of Irish and these bursaries are a significant support for student teachers. The postgraduate pathway is available to prospective teachers who wish to teach in Gaeltacht and Irish-medium schools. The Irish-medium pathway is a significant step forward in the promotion and development of Irish-medium education, a pathway recognized by the Teaching Council, and accredited by Trinity College.
Speaking at the award ceremony, the President of Marino Institute of Education President, Professor Teresa O’Doherty said: “Marino Institute of Education recognises the importance of this pathway in meeting the demand for teachers in Gaeltacht and Irish-medium schools and in increasing the number of enthusiastic teachers of Irish in the classroom. Marino Institute of Education is delighted to be the first college to offer a Professional Master in Education through the medium of Irish. We are very grateful for the support of COGG, which is offering bursaries to students on this Irish-medium Pathway. These bursaries are a great support for students on the pathway who are seeking to work in the Irish-medium sector in education in particular.”
Jacqueline Ní Fhearghusa, Chief Executive of COGG, said: “COGG is delighted to launch the bursary scheme for the Master of Professional Education (MGO) programme for primary teaching at Marino Institute of Education. COGG recognises the importance of teacher recruitment in Irish-medium and Gaeltacht schools and the recruitment of teachers who are motivated and committed to the Irish language. We at COGG are delighted to support such a significant foundation for the learning and promotion of the language.”
In addition to this, Dr. Melanie Ní Dhuinn, Head of MGO at Marino Institute of Education, said: “We are very grateful for COGG’s support in providing these bursaries for students on the pathway. We are incredibly proud of our students and know that MGO students will make a significant contribution to Irish-medium education and to the Irish language community.”
Applications for the Professional Master of Education (Primary Teaching) for September 2026 will open in January 2026.
