Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
1419. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding the parent and pupil charter; the expected timeline for publication; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34453/14]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that changes to the Education Act, 1998 will be necessary to provide for and support the introduction of a Parent and Student Charter.
With this in mind, a set of principles will be required to act as a charter to strengthen the relationship between parents, students and schools, and the position of parents and students generally within the school system.
My Department plans to engage with all the education partners in order to develop the principles required for such a Charter.
