I propose to take Questions Nos. 298, 299, 300 and 333 together.
I am currently examining the scope for deployment of additional teaching resources to children with special educational needs.
The question of remedial teaching posts will form a key element in this consideration.
In this connection the Programme for a Partnership Government provides for the recruitment of 500 remedial teachers by September, 1996.
