Ruairi Quinn is an Architect and Urbanist/Town Planner who was one of Ireland's senior politicians for more than four decades in Leinster House, the home of Ireland's National Parliament.
A Cabinet Minister in four different Coalition Governments, he was Labour's first minister for Finance and subsequently Minister for Education and Skills, in the Fine Gael / Labour Coalition Government, 2011 to 2014, when he retired from Cabinet and stood down from Dáil Éireann.
He is one of Ireland's most experienced politicians, widely known within the European Union and beyond.
He has maintained a strong interest and involvement in educational issues and has been actively involved in helping to establish the IB School in Dublin.
When it comes to finding the right school, there are countless data sources to explore. You can pore over the school’s test scores and university destinations, websites, and social media in search of signs that this could be the place.
But some soul-searching is also needed into your own aspirations. What is it, precisely, that you want for your child, beyond vague aims of them being “happy and successful”? It’s a daunting question, and requires reflection around your ideas about learning, community and perhaps even the nature of a meaningful life.
At Nord Anglia Education schools, we encourage our students not only to learn foreign languages but to think, feel, and experience the world through them. Many of our schools around the world, from the United States to Switzerland and from Vietnam to China, offer a world-class bilingual education.
Bilingualism—the ability to communicate fluently in two languages—helps children learn and grow. At our schools, we understand being bilingual helps students truly excel because it boosts their thinking skills, improves decision-making, and enhances communication. Plus, it helps them appreciate other cultures on a deeper level.
Read on for a closer look at all the benefits of bilingualism.
