Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of Education (Amendment) Bill 2015 and General Scheme of Education (Parent and Student Charter) Bill 2016: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Martin Hanevy:

That is live as an option. We will probably deal with it in the context of the work on the charter. Some patrons are very interested in that. The point the Department would have made is that it must be common across schools at second level. There may be issues about whether the student would be a full member or an associate member, but that is for discussion. It is in our thoughts.
