It has a strong tradition of innovation and excellent service and has firmly established networks, both educational and business, to assist it in the service it provides to its education community. The Centre currently hosts and administers a number of national programmes on behalf of the Department of Education and Skills. These comprise the Project Maths Initiative, The Child Protection Guidelines and Relationships and Sexuality Programme (post-primary), The Summer Courses Programme for Primary Teachers and the training for school Boards of Management (Primary and Post-Primary).

It offers face to face courses on conflict resolution techniques for primary and post-primary teachers. Teacher up-skilling in this area continues to be provided through the Centre’s Spring and Autumn local courses programme and also its face-to face and online Summer Course Programme.

    Monaghan Education Centre on the outskirts of Monaghan Town serves the school communities of Monaghan and Cavan. We also serve the schools of County Louth for I.C.T. purposes. Our geographical situation gives us an ideal opportunity to engage in Cross Border work, an opportunity that we have grasped enthusiastically. Reading Recovery was introduced to the Republic of Ireland in 2000 and was piloted in Monaghan. We are now National Administrative Centre for Reading Recovery in Ireland. We are also the National Administrative Centre for the Supervision of Guidance Counsellors.
