The purpose of the Home Tuition Scheme is to provide a compensatory educational service for children who, for a number of reasons such as chronic illness, are unable to attend school. The scheme also provides a compensatory educational service for children with special educational needs seeking an educational placement. Provision is also made for early educational intervention from children with autism.

Applications for home Home Tuition must be renewed annually. The circular and application form for the 2014/2015 school year are now available on www.education.ie

No application has been submitted in respect of the child referred to by the Deputy.
