Grinds
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "other uses". Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Use Hiberno-English In Ireland, grinds are a form of private tuition. The grinds industry in Ireland, particularly at secondary school level, acts as a supplement to other forms of schooling and is described in some sources as "shadow education".[1][2][3] In 2012, the Revenue Commissioners launched an investigation into a perceived failure of some teachers to declare extra income from giving grinds for tax purposes. The Association of Secondary Teachers, Ireland denied that this was a widespread problem.[4]
Grind schools
Script error: No such module "anchor". Some private schools, such as Ashfield College,[5] Bruce College,[6] the Institute of Education,[7] Leinster Senior College,[8] and Yeats College[9] which offer the Leaving Certificate as a single year (repeat) course, are sometimes called "grind schools".[10][11]
A study in 2020 indicated the students from Irish-speaking secondary schools and grind schools had strong chances of progressing to further education but were significantly less likely to finish their course or achieve a 2:1 degree or greater compared to students from secondary schools.[12]
A report, published in 2022 by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), indicated that increasing numbers of "well-off pupils" were undertaking private grinds to "boost Leaving Cert grades".[2][13]
Online grinds
During the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland, Irish schools were shut down and elements of education shifted to online channels. A number of new "online-only" grinds schools were established.Template:Fact The rise of online grinds represented a shift in the way such education was delivered.Template:Or-inline
