Written Answers - Remedial Teaching Services.

Enda Kenny

Ceist:

333 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Education and Science the primary schools in County Mayo which have a remedial teaching service; the number of pupils involved; the schools which do not have remedial teachers; the number of pupils in these schools who require but who do not have remedial teacher access; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25438/98]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

Some 116 national schools catering for 11,586 pupils in County Mayo have the services of a remedial teacher and 72 schools catering for 3,538 pupils do not, as yet, have access to a remedial teacher service. Details of these schools are set out in the following table.

My Department does not keep details on an annual basis of the numbers of children attending school who are in need of a remedial teacher. However, the Special Education Review Com mittee considered that pupils are in need of remedial teaching if they perform at or below the tenth percentile on standardised literacy or numeracy tests.

My capacity to allocate additional remedial teacher posts in any given year is dependent on resource availability and the level of competing demand from other special needs areas. I allocated an additional 60 remedial teacher posts with effect from September 1998. The number of remedial teachers in place in the primary system now stands at 1,302.

I am currently examining the scope for further development of the remedial service, in keeping with my objective of ensuring that a remedial service is made available to every national school in the country. The needs of schools in County Mayo will be fully considered within this context.

The following is a list of schools with access to a remedial teaching service in County Mayo
