We are not going back to segregated education, but will the delegates indicate which things from the past were helpful and should be reinstated? What new initiatives do they recommend? When he appeared before the committee, Mr. Thomas McCann spoke clearly about the mental health issues affecting members of the Traveller community and described an indifference to their difficulties. Do the delegates agree that Mr. McCann's observation holds water in regard to the education system or would they describe it differently?

I am looking for a broad perspective on what should be brought back that we used to have, what new initiatives should be included in the education strategy and the view of the witnesses on the general attitude of the education system to Traveller education.
