All this week, we are focusing on the education of our nation. The aim of the series is to take a detailed look at our primary and secondary education systems by highlighting and discussing various topics that affect students, parents, and the teaching profession. A topic that is raised continuously is the Irish language and whether or not it should remain a compulsory subject in schools. Our reporter josh Crosbie spoke with people on both sides of the debate.
