Peadar Clohessy

Question:

40 Mr. Clohessy asked the Minister for Education when she will publish the interdepartmental report drawn up by her Department and the Department of the Environment which recommends a shake-up in the education system which will give environmental issues such as pollution and the ozone layer, recycling and other such issues a special place on the curriculum.

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

I am planning to publish the report to which the Deputy refers before the end of the current school year. Arrangements are in hand to have the report printed in sufficient quantities so that it can be distributed to all primary and post-primary schools as well as other interested parties.
