An interview with Mark and Sophie

Today we talk to two young students who study in the Irish school system: Mark and Sophie.

Ireland school system is different from the Italian school system.

For example, students use uniforms, combine middle and high school, and have a special year for personal development (it is the Transition Year).

The Irish school system offers a lot of optional courses to help students develop their talents.

We are here to learn more about these students' experiences.
