Question 898: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the number of language support teachers appointed to schools in respect of international children who require language support since her decision to abolish the two year cap and the two teacher rule; the schools to which extra language support teachers have been appointed since her decision; the number of international children in each such named school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14906/07]

The Deputy will be aware that I recently announced the allocation of 200 extra language support posts to schools, bringing the total number of language support teachers in our schools to 1,450. These new resources are intended for schools with large numbers of pupils who do not have English as a first language. Under the revised arrangements, depending on the number of eligible pupils enrolled, schools now have between one and six language support teachers. In addition, the limit of two years' support for an individual pupil no longer applies.
The additional 200 teachers are part of the Government's commitment in Towards 2016 to provide an extra 550 language support teachers by 2009 and to reform the limit of two teachers per school. It is intended that a further 350 language support teachers will be provided between 2008 and 2009. The primary schools and post-primary schools which were allocated additional language support following my recent announcement are included in the table. The number of international pupils in each of the schools is not readily available in my Department.
In order to ensure that schools can accurately and objectively assess the language requirement of children, my Department will be sending to schools assessment materials which have been developed by Integrate Ireland Language and Training (IILT). The assessment materials will enable schools to ensure that the specific language requirements of children needing support are met in a targeted way. The IILT materials will also enable accurate initial and on-going assessment of the language proficiency of the child and his or her need for continued language support.
