Vol. 432 No. 7
120 Mr. Moynihan asked the Minister for Education if she will make a statement on the future prospects of schools whose applications for remedial teachers where unsuccessful.
The approval of further remedial posts in a particular year is governed by the teaching resources available in that year.
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 already announced the appointment of an additional 86 remedial teachers with effect from September 1993.
