Amharc ar fhreagra316. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Education the reason the review conducted by her Department in 2018 into alternative education or out-of-school provision life centres has not been published to date. [60049/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 315 and 316 together.
Under Action 88 of the DEIS Plan my Department has undertaken a review of out-of school education provision. This review has been carried out by a Working Group chaired by my Department and including representatives from Tusla and the Education and Training Board sector.
This review has been informed through the use of questionnaires, submissions from stakeholders and a public consultation process, including consultation with students.
I expect to soon be in a position to publish the report of the review. It is envisaged that the report will inform future policy in this area.
