Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 December 2004
293 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Education and Science the criteria or standards used or qualifications required of persons wishing to be employed as classroom assistants; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32060/04]
View answerApproval for the post of special needs assistant is granted by my Department. However, the appointment of individual special needs assistants in primary and second level schools is a matter for each school authority. The procedures for the appointment of special needs assistants in primary schools are outlined in circular SNA 3/03. I will arrange for a copy of the circular to be forwarded directly to the Deputy.
