Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Barriers to Education Facing Vulnerable Groups: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Richard Dolan:

In the national access plan, we have six groups, including students from socio-economic disadvantaged backgrounds, members of the Traveller community, part-time flexible learners and students with disabilities. We have strategies in place in each of the different areas, including the DEIS strategy, the further education strategy and the national access plan for higher education. Those strategies set out the ways in which we are meeting the challenges. Those strategies need to deliver the targets within them and then lead on to further strategies in the years to come.

As regards the other question on whole school evaluations, I am not sure about them, so I will get back to the committee.
