144. Deputy Paul McAuliffe asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of his plans for the July provision. [10020/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is planning to provide a summer education programme for children with significant special educational needs as soon as it is safe to do so and in accordance with public health advice.
It is intended that this programme will be similar to the July Provision of previous years.
The Summer Education Programme will take place for children with significant special educational needs enrolled in special schools, special classes and mainstream classes.
The programme will be reliant on schools, teachers and Special Needs Assistants (SNAs) choosing to participate on a voluntary basis.
Planning is under way and an announcement will be made shortly.
