A review of the General Allocation Model (GAM) for the allocation of learning support/resource teaching support to meet the needs of children with high incidence special educational needs in primary schools has been undertaken by my Department. This review has been completed. The recommendations of the review will be considered in the context of the Departments Employment Control Framework obligations and competing demands on teacher numbers and educational resources.
