Vol. 573 No. 5
118 Mr. McCormack asked the Minister for Education and Science when the proposals of the McIvor report on post leaving certificate education are to be implemented by the Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25939/03]
The PLC review was commissioned by my Department to examine the sector and make recommendations as necessary regarding the organisational, support, development, technical and administrative structures and resources required in schools with large scale PLC provision. The final report was completed in April 2003.
The recommendations in the report are wide-ranging and encompass proposals that extend beyond PLC provision, including issues which impact on the shaping of structures for the delivery of further and adult education into the future and on other sectors of the education system. My Department is currently engaged in discussions with management and staff interests with regard to the recommendations.
