With regard to numbers in schools, there has to be a certain pupil ratio for schools to have special needs assistants, SNAs. Can that be reviewed? I often find when I am talking to schools personnel that they might need 200 pupils to have a certain number of SNAs. What way does that work? It seems a bit unfair in certain places. Is anything being looked at?
