Ceisteanna (64)

Luke 'Ming' Flanagan

Ceist:

64. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 230 of 8 April 2014, in view of the fact that all boards of management that have been encountered are unaware that the decision on whether to use workbooks is for them to make, if he will ensure that all boards of management are notified that this is a decision for them to make and that it is not a matter for teaching staff; when communicating this responsibility to boards of management, if he will ensure that they are reminded, in such communication, of the significant costs of these workbooks and the burden on parents and to keep these considerations in mind when addressing this matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am satisfied that all of the issues raised by the Deputy have been adequately covered in the Guidelines for Developing Textbook Rental Schemes which I have published and which have been widely publicised.
