Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Ireland Prison Education Strategy 2019-2022: Discussion

Ms Caron McCaffrey:

It is a huge gap. I know from the learners it is difficult to pick it up. Obviously teachers have a particular contract of employment. We have a lot of flexibility. We have a summer provision for the month of June and into July which is helpful. Mr. O'Connor might talk about the summer provision. It is not ideal, however we get a good deal of flexibility from our teaching staff to cover some of those summer months that would traditionally be seen as time off for schooling.
