Vol. 531 No. 2

Written Answers. - Teaching Commission.

Róisín Shortall

Ceist:

207 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Education and Science his proposals in relation to the establishment of a commission on teaching; the progress to date in establishing a commission; the particular areas which the commission will cover; if the role of the teacher in supporting social inclusion will form part of the commission's brief; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5379/01]

There has been no formal announcement on the establishment of a commission on teaching. However, I have indicated that I would favour a commission on education and learning for life which would have a broad and supportive remit and am developing proposals in this regard. The Deputy may be assured that social inclusion will be one of my priorities.
