Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Special Educational Needs: Impact of Covid-19 (Resumed)

Mr. Dalton Tattan:

The main incentive is monetary in that for those teachers who choose to participate in it over the summer there is an additional payment. There is also additional extra personal vacation days. There are additional days that they can accrue and then take during the regular school year. They can do that as part of summer provision.

To return to the Down's syndrome point, on the post-primary side we are in engagement with Down Syndrome Ireland around the post-primary issue. There is a proposal there concerning the post-primary age children. We do not anticipate that they are going to be left out in the cold.
