View answer211 Mr. Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science if a review of the home school liaison scheme is planned; and when this review will take place. [14468/04]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 210 and 211 together.
The home school community liaison scheme, which was established in 1990, operates in 503 schools currently, 309 primary and 194 second level schools. A detailed review of all educational disadvantage initiatives is nearly complete within my Department and this will impact on existing schemes. I hope to announce the outcome of this review shortly.
