Bridging the Gap - Evaluation Report 2006

The Bridging the Gap project has now come to the end of its fifth year, and it has gone from strength to strength since it began in 2001, working in partnership with more than forty schools in Cork city to improve the educational opportunities and achievements of their pupils. The project has been evaluated at the end of each year and it has been shown to produce real “wins” for everyone involved - pupils, their families, their teachers, the university and the communities. The schools in the project have set themselves challenging targets, and there is clear evidence in this report that they have met and exceeded these targets. In the process, they have greatly enhanced the educational experiences of their pupils. UCC is proud to be part of the Bridging the Gap project, which is a very important element of the university’s commitment to the community.
