Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 January 2022
872. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Education the reason the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) has not committed to a specific date in May 2022 for the publication of special class teacher and SNA allocations on the NCSE website; if the NCSE will commit to a specific date in May 2022; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2670/22]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that schools notify the NCSE of enrolments in special classes and special schools each year. The NCSE resource these special classes and special schools with teachers and SNAs in line with notified enrolments. Schools are requested to provide this information to the local SENO by 18th February 2022. The NCSE then processes these notifications and determines the allocation of teachers and SNAs to special classes and special schools by the end of May 2022.
If you have any further queries in relation to this matter, please contact the NCSE. Contact details are available on www.ncse.ie
