Question:438. Deputy John Paul Phelan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his Department has reviewed the impact statement prepared by Ballyfermot College for Further Education assessing the impact of the new 19:1 student teacher ratio, which is resulting in the redeployment of 18 teaching posts and loss of 10 teaching posts equating to a 20% loss in teaching capacity to the serious detriment of the College’s ongoing capacity to deliver high-quality specialist courses, noting that many of these courses have a proven track record in supporting the employability of BCFE students and which have supported and sustained many domestic small and medium enterprises, including a number of internally-renowned firms in the areas of animation and associated creative and digital fields.
