asked the Minister for Education the number of remedial teachers in the national schools on a shared basis; the type of schools that are sharing remedial teachers indicating the size of school, number of teachers; the geographic locations where they are spread throughout the country; and if any recent appointments have been made.
Written Answers. - Remedial Teachers.
514.
There are 196 remedial teaching posts sanctioned on a shared basis in national schools.
The type of schools that are sharing remedial teachers — size of school, number of teachers and so on — and their geographic location throughout the country is given in the form of a tabular statement which I propose to circulate in the Official Report.
Fourteen remedial teaching posts on a shared basis were sanctioned in 1983.
Following is the statement:
