To ask the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to introduce a system of flexi-schooling for children that are home schooled that would allow them to attend school on a part-time basis that would facilitate a parent who may work part-time but wishes to home school their child; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

It would neither be feasible nor practical to put in place the type of arrangement suggested by the Deputy.
