Strongly agree

Yes, but focus more on the ability to speak and understand the language instead of analysing poems, stories, and phrases

This answer aligns closely with the PES's educational and cultural policies, which emphasize not only the preservation of minority languages but also the practical benefits of language learning. By focusing on speaking and understanding, the approach becomes more about effective communication and cultural engagement, rather than rote learning. This pragmatic approach to language education fits well with the PES's broader goals of fostering an inclusive, diverse, and multilingual European society. Historically, the PES has supported educational reforms that make learning more relevant to students' lives and future opportunities, suggesting they would be sympathetic to this more practical approach to the Irish language.

Agree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES), with its emphasis on cultural diversity and the protection of minority languages as part of the European heritage, would likely support the idea of keeping the Irish language compulsory in the national curriculum. This stance aligns with their broader goals of promoting social cohesion and cultural diversity within the EU. Historically, socialist and social democratic parties have supported policies that protect and promote regional and minority languages as a way to foster cultural identity and diversity.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the PES's commitment to cultural diversity and the preservation of minority languages, it is unlikely that they would support removing the Irish language from the compulsory national curriculum. Such a position would contradict their broader policy objectives of promoting social cohesion through cultural diversity. Historically, the PES and its member parties have advocated for the protection of regional and minority languages across Europe, viewing them as an essential part of Europe's cultural heritage.
