Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth
Education for Children with Special Educational Needs: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Charlotte Cahill:
The biggest issue is the lack of forward planning. We are probably more than five years behind. Some 399 classes were sanctioned this year. That number needs to continue for the next five to ten years to catch up on what we have lost. There is no point in saying every year that a given amount of classes are being sanctioned. Unless there are enough classes every single year, we are going to be chasing our tail.
