Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

General Scheme of Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2013: Discussion

3:00 pm

Mr. Hubert Loftus:

The real decision in terms of enrolment at school level is not necessarily just by the school principal, it is by the board of management in setting the enrolment policy and we require them here to do the consultation. That is the real decision-making process. The school principal merely implements the policy.
