325 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Education if AMI trained montessori teachers will be able to teach in the early start pre-schools; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2992/94]
The early start pre-schools which have recently been established are an integral part of the primary schools to which they are attached.
Each pre-school is staffed by two fully qualified primary teachers and two qualified childcare assistants.
It is not intended that montessori trained teachers be appointed to the pre-schools.
