Moldovan experience of Irish education system

Buna, vedeti mai jos scrisoarea unei directoare de scoala. Ea ar vrea sa stier care e parerea noastra, a strainilor, fata de sistemul de educatie irlandez. Detaliile Dneaei sunt mai jos.

Hello, my name is Mary C FitzPatrick, and I found your email contact on the internet. I am a director of a high school here in Dublin but am also a researcher in education and would lke to include members of the Moldovan community in Ireland to share their opinions and/or experiences of the Irish education system with me. This is to find out if certain internal structures in the Department of Education or indeed within schools themselves, need to be changed so as to deliver a better level of service to the now increasingly mixed Irish school population. It is important that all children , regardless of nationality, are afforded the best possible chance at education and this is enshrined in Irish law. This research forms part of my PhD thesis. I look forward to hearing from you and from members of the Moldovan community here in Ireland. Thank you.
 
Kind wishes,

Memories of moldova keep me grounded - the new face of kids TV

She's just landed the biggest job in Irish children's TV but Diana Bunici's rise to fame hasn't been an easy one

The Lucan girl says she underwent massive upheaval when her family moved from Moldova to Dublin when she was just eight years old.

Diana (21) has landed the presenting role on Elev8 on TRTE -- the show which will replace The Den on RTE two.

Speaking to the Herald, Diana said: "My whole family moved here when I was eight and my little brother Daniel was born here so he's really Irish.

"I've been here for 14 years so I feel more Irish than Moldovan at this stage, I've done all of my primary, secondary and college education here.

"I still have a lot of memories of Moldova, we have a lot of family there and of course I miss them a lot.

"My parents came here in search of better opportunities.

"Although they both had good jobs, Moldova is quite a poor country so they wanted to move abroad."

The up and coming TV star hopes that she will do her home country justice when her show kicks off on Monday.

"I'm very excited about it, it's such a good opportunity," she said. "I do think that I am one of the first few Moldovan people to do something on national TV here which is quite exciting. In a way I suppose I am representing the country, so I hope people at home see it and are proud.

"People might find out more about the country -- most people just recognise us from the Eurovision. No one even knew where it was when I was younger and had first moved here."

And while it is hard to find time to visit her family in Eastern Europe, she manages to talk to them all the time thanks to technology.

"I used to visit once a year, but when you get older and busier it's harder to get over to visit. I miss it very much -- my grandparents and cousins, aunts and uncles are all still over there.

Tough

"But we keep in touch through phone calls and emails. I try not to let living in two different countries keep us apart. Skype is the best thing in the world!"

However, the pretty blonde insists that she hasn't always been "living the dream", and insists it was the tough times that made it worthwhile.

"It hasn't been easy, learning a new language, moving to a new country with different people. It has been tough, but Ireland is such a lovely nation, which has made it easier," she added.

Democratzia a murit! Traiasca Democratzia!

In primul rand va aduc la cunostinta ca 387 de cetateni ai R Moldova s-au prezentat la vot in Irlanda. O cifra modesta daca luam in calcul numarul cetatenilor ce se afla aici. Vestea buna este ca 100% au votat pentru alegerea presedintelui prin vot direct. Dupa cum se spune fiecare popor isi merita conducatorii asa ca vreau sa felicit pe cei care au ales sa stea acasa in locul prezentarii la sectia de votare, sa stiti ca datorita voua criza politica in Moldova va continua si posibil va sfarsi cu intoarcerea comunistilor la putere. Cel putin avem primele efecte ale faptului ca AIE-ul a dat-o in bara, se incepe a vorbi despre a forma un bloc comun. Tarziu se intampla acest lucru dar sa speram ca nu este prea tarziu. Conform datelor exit poll-ului batranii si cei care au carte putina (fiti atenti a fost spus carte putina nu prosti) au boicotat referendumul. Cat despre frica celor care se afla ilegal in tara pot sa va asigur ca nu a fost nici zare de politist sau ofiter de la imigratie. Vestea proasta pentru voi este ca daca revin comunistii la putere posibilitatea de a merge in Europa cu pasaport moldoveniesc peste un an jumate dispare asa ca in cazul cand vom avea alegeri anticipate chibzuiti un pic mai bine asupra hotararii de a nu merge la vot, va taiati craca de sub picioare. Am vrut sa va spun multe si sa impart amaraciunea cu care am petrecut seara de astazi uitandu-ma la mutrele ranjite a lui pedrenco, misin, munteanu si alti derbedei de la pcrm. Un prieten bun mi-a spus ca asta si asteapta ei de la noi sa pierdem speranta si sa lasam mainile in jos, sa zicem ca nu ne mai intoarcem in tara prostilor niciodata. Mai avem o sansa oameni buni: alegerile anticipate. Reflectati un pic si sper ca veti depune toate eforturile sa aduceti cat mai multi oameni la urnele de vot, aici sau acasa. Cele bune la toti si sa ne vedem sanatosi.
