111. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he has issued any circular letters or other guidelines to schools regarding the private organisation of evening study for which students make payments in post-primary schools; if so, if those letters or guidelines will be made available; if he has not issued any circular letters or guidelines, his plans to issue them to schools regarding the issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The position is that my Department has not issued any guidelines to schools in relation to the organisation of evening study and I have no plans to do so. It is a matter for each individual school to decide at local level whether they wish to organise evening study.

If a school wishes to facilitate evening study, in keeping with good practice, this should involve consultation with teachers, parents and students.
