Senator Mary Moran has strongly welcomed the significant increase of special classes in mainstream schools highlighted by the Minister for Education and Skills, Jan O'Sullivan TD today at the NCSE Research Conference.
'The NCSE has sanctioned an additional 133 special classes in mainstream schools for 2015 which brings the total number of special classes in mainstream schools to 858.
This represents a significant increase in the provision of special classes in mainstream schools over the last four years. In 2010, the total number of special classes was under 500.
'We have maintained a strong level of commitment to the area of special education as evidenced by the significant increases in special classes. As Seanad Spokesperson on Education, I will continue to work with my colleague, Minister Jan O'Sullivan in the area of special education and impress the importance of continued investment in this area. I look forward to building on these positive developments in education over the coming months.'
