The DEIS Plan acknowledged that further work was required to refine the model and my Department is undertaking an extensive body of work in relation to this. Further to work conducted by the DEIS technical group, my Department commenced a consultation process with the education partners on the technical aspects of the model and further work on the model is being progressed. Work on refinement of the model is ongoing and until this work is complete it is not intended to extend DEIS to further schools.
