That is the question I asked. At least Mr. Tattan has answered the question.
It went on to refer to the clear restrictions on who could access the programme in July and August 2020. It stated:
The Guidelines state that that the scheme is not open to the majority of post-primary school students, nor to students transitioning from preschool into mainstream primary schools. As a result, despite the lip service paid to promoting an inclusive education system, those children heading to mainstream primary school will be penalised rather than supported...
Does Mr. Tattan accept the assertion that those children will be penalised rather than be supported?
