Vol. 396 No. 6
87 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Education if she will undertake a major review of the pupil/teacher ratio for all categories of special schools; the action she intends to take pending the review; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Consideration of whether the pupil-teacher ratios in question should be reviewed does not arise until the report of the Primary Education Review Body is available.
I am presently awaiting the report of the Primary Education Review Body. On receipt of the report I will then be in a position to give consideration and other matters.
