There are 39 remedial teaching posts providing a remedial service to 92 schools in County Meath. There are three resource posts for children with disabilities, 12 resource posts for travellers, one special class for children with autism, one special class for emotionally disturbed children, one special school for mildly mentally handicapped children and one special school for moderately mentally handicapped children.
To extract the detailed information which the Deputy has requested regarding pupil enrolment, the number of teachers and the pupil teacher ratios in each individual school in County Meath would require an inordinate demand on existing resources which could not be justified.
The number of hours which each remedial teacher and special needs teacher spends in each school is a matter for the board of management and the school's inspector. This is revised from time to time depending on the level of need in each school.
