The operation of appeals under Section 29 of the Education Act, 1998 is governed by procedures as provided for in the Act. Section 4 of the Education (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2007 provides for amendments to Section 29 of the Education Act. My department has engaged in consultation with the education partners in respect of the changes to the Section 29 Appeals procedures which are necessitated by the commencement of the Education (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2007. My department is also conducting a review of the procedures which underpin the operation of the appeals system.
