View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 84 and 90 together.
The Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST) is responsible for facilitating access to training for primary teachers in DEIS schools in the Maths Recovery programme. My Department's support service, the PDST, is currently engaged with the programme provider - Maths Recovery Ireland, with a view to ensuring that the schools in question have access to continued support for the 2014/2015 school year.
