Question:126 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for Education and Science if remedial services will be made available to pupils attending Murroe, Dunfanaghy, Ballymore and Creeslough national schools in County Donegal. [9342/99]
Written Answers. - Remedial Services.
Arrangements are currently being made in my Department to extend the remedial teacher service to all first and second level schools with effect from September next. As part of this development, primary schools with a pupil-teacher ratio of below 10.1 and which currently have no remedial service may apply for a service where they can demonstrate the particular needs of their pupils.
All primary schools, including the schools mentioned by the Deputy, will be covered by this expansion of the remedial teacher service.
