Will the Minister confirm that the number of one-teacher schools created this year will be 40 or so, compared with ten last year? Is there any room within the Estimates to support these schools and will she comment on their viability in a context where numbers are increasing?

The process of junior cycle reform has commenced, but 10% of English teachers delivering the curriculum as of the first week in September have not participated in any training on it. Will the Minister comment on this?
