asked the Minister for Education if she will give a list of the organisations-individuals who will be interviewed by OECD in the context of the OECD review of the Irish educational system with particular reference to teacher education and supply divided into those who have personally made written submissions and those from whom written submissions have been sought; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - OECD Review of Irish Education.
243.
No decision has been taken on which organisations-individuals may be interviewed by the OECD examiners during their visit next year. However, my Department are aware of the desire of a number of groups to meet with the examiners and will do what it can to accommodate such groups bearing in mind the limited duration of the examiners visit.
It will, of course, be a matter for the examiners themselves, in the final analysis, to determine their schedule of activity for the duration of their stay in Ireland.
