My department recognises the importance of monitoring educational outcomes for all children with special educational needs who require additional supports in their educational journey. Outcome measures include student engagement, attainment, attendance, happiness, independence and progress.
My department has requested the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) to include in their 2024 research programme an examination of educational outcomes as outlined in the question raised and to provide same to the department when completed in the coming year.
My department and the NCSE are committed to delivering an education system that is of the highest quality and where every child and young person feels valued and is actively supported and nurtured to reach their full potential.
