268.
Deputy Brian Hayes
asked the
Minister for Education and Science
the number of primary schools that have more than two English language support teachers.
[4057/09]
[828]Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Batt O’Keeffe):
There are currently 258 primary schools with more than two language support teachers. The budget measures will mean that the level of language support will be reduced from a maximum of six extra teachers per school to a maximum of two teachers per school, as was the case before 2007. However, there will be some alleviation for the position of those schools where there is a significant concentration of newcomer pupils as a proportion of the overall enrolment.
