View answerIn line with Programme for Government commitments, my Department is currently planning for an independent assessment of this pilot project, and work is underway in this regard. The research will evaluate the impact of the pilot in the four pilot locations and it is envisaged that this will inform future policy initiatives to support Traveller and Roma children and young people in their education.
