Written Answers. - Remedial Teacher Statistics.

Ivor Callely

Question:

148 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Education the total number of remedial teachers employed in schools under the aegis of her Department at present.

My Department currently funds 945 remedial teachers serving approximately 1,400 national schools.

The Programme for a Partnership Government made a specific commitment to the appointment of 500 additional remedial teachers by September 1996.

As a first step towards honouring this commitment, I have decided to appoint an additional 80 remedial teachers with effect from September 1993.
