Public Accounts Committee

Department of Education and Skills - Review of Allowances

1:30 pm

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We are supportive of encouraging teacher engagement in the diverse curriculum in primary and post-primary, whether it is ICT or PE , and the development of our children. We do not share the view that it has to be done by means of allowances. We see this as part of the overall curriculum. PE is part of the curriculum in primary and post-primary.
