Clare Daly
Question:297. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills with regard to the July provision scheme, if he will clarify if siblings are to be allocated hours as per group teaching principles in line with school based provision if they will receive 25 hours tuition per week for July in line with school based provision; the maximum number of siblings that will be required to share home based tuition; what he considers to be a significant difference in age or ability when allocating hours for siblings and how this will be determined; if he will indicate the result if a family are unable to find a tutor to commit to providing tuition to siblings before 12 June; the advice his Department sought on this change in policy; if he will make available the policy document underpinning these changes in the July provision scheme; the way they will be applied by his Department; the way parents can make a case for extenuating circumstances; and his Department's requirements as evidence of extenuating circumstances.
