Remedial teachers have access to the back-up support of the teaching staffs and principals of the schools in which they serve. They also have access to the support of my Department's Inspectorate and of the school psychological service to assist them in any areas of difficulty which they encounter in the course of their work.
To the extent that additional resources become available for the development of remedial services, my priority at this stage would be to target such resources on extending the service to areas which currently have no remedial service.
