The 178 reports include 45 Whole School Evaluations (WSE) on primary schools, nine post-primary WSE reports and 124 subject inspections in second-level schools.

The documents published today look at 25 subjects and bring to 777 the number of school inspection reports published on the website, covering 562 different educational institutions.

The WSE documents examine the school's management, planning, teaching and learning, student assessment, student supports, provision for minority groups and home-school links.
