Some secondary schools are still not teaching pupils about relationships and sex education, according to data from school inspections.
It's one of a range of educational shortcomings highlighted in a report in today's Irish Independent.
School standards are coming under increasing scrutiny after the number of inspections were ramped up in recent years.
Among the findings, inspectors reported on a gaelscoil that taught inaccuracies in spoken Irish.
In another school, parents complained that the financial contribution they made was not voluntary.
