RTÉ's Home School Hub, or simply Home School Hub, and its companion show Home School Extra, was an educational television programme which was created in response to the closure of all schools during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland in 2020.[2] Announced on 21 March,[3] it began broadcasting on RTÉ2 on 30 March, aimed at children attending 1st–6th class of primary school (i.e. roughly 6/7–12/13 years of age).[4] The first series ended on 19 June.[5] A new series After School Hub began on 11 October, broadcasting in the afternoon to cater for children whose parents are working from home.[6][7] The series finished on 19 March 2021.
