David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

Question 4: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the recent changes in acceptable qualifications for home tuition providers as listed in appendix A of the home tuition application form; the reason for his Department's preference for a fully qualified teacher as opposed to psychology graduates, registered mental health nurses and persons holding autism-related qualifications given that the majority of children who require home tuition have autism or other forms of intellectual disability; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
