The position today is that the Department of Education is at the centre of the administrative pattern, with district education boards and school committees looking after the local interests of primary, intermediate, and district high schools, and boards of governors, boards of managers, and post-primary school councils administering post-primary schools and technical institutes at the local level. Pre-school education is administered by local associations and committees, all of which are affiliated to their own national organisations.
