Written answers
The Education (Admission to Schools) Act 2018 was signed into law by the President on the 18th July 2018.
In relation to commencement of the various sections of the Act my Department has sought the advice of the Office of the Attorney General (AGO) in respect of which sections can be commenced immediately. Other sections will require regulations and procedures to be drafted following consultation with the Education Partners before they can be commenced.
The commencement of the Act remains a priority and I will consider which sections of the Act can be commenced and appropriate timelines, following advice from the AGO in this regard.
