Question:260 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a remedial teacher has not been appointed to Kinlough Four Masters national school (details supplied) in County Leitrim. [13508/99]
Written Answers. - School Staffing.
Arrangements are currently being made in my Department to extend the remedial teacher service to all first and second level schools, including schools in County Leitrim, with effect from September next 1999. 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.
The school to which the Deputy refers will be included in this expansion of the remedial service.
