View answerUnder Action 88 of the DEIS Plan my Department has undertaken a review of out-of school education provision. This review has been carried out by a Working Group chaired by my Department and including representatives from Tusla and the Education and Training Board sector.
This review has been informed through the use of questionnaires, submissions from stakeholders and a public consultation process, including consultation with students.
The review is currently being finalised and I expect to soon be in a position to publish the report of the review. It is envisaged that the report will inform future policy in this area.
