Vol. 421 No. 4

Written Answers. - Remedial Teacher Posts.

Garrett Fitzgerald

Ceist:

181 Dr. G. FitzGerald asked the Minister for Education if he intends appointing further remedial teachers in September 1992.

As the Deputy will be aware, 80 additional posts serving over 240 schools were allocated in the current school year as part of a national distribution under the Programme for Economic and Social Progress.

The agreement reached with concerned interests under theProgramme for Economic and Social Progress provided that posts in 1992 will be used to reduce larger class sizes by improvement of the teacher appointment schedule and, therefore, does not provide for the appointment of remedial teachers in September, 1992.
However, additional posts coming on stream in 1993 will allow for the provision of special posts including those for remedial teachers.
