Some 52 of the 69 primary schools in County Laois have the services of a remedial teacher on a shared or full-time basis. A list of these schools and the sharing arrangements involved follows.
Since my appointment as Minister for Education, I have allocated an additional 241 remedial teachers to the primary sector. A total of 1,188 remedial teachers are now in place and the percentage of pupils who have access to a remedial service has increased from 77 per cent to 87 per cent. I am satisfied that I have achieved substantial advances across the entire spectrum of special needs, including the remedial area. It is my intention to continue this process.
