Knockadea National School

45% of children with support needs are being failed by the educational system as they face multiple barriers to access their right to school. We expect our leaders to stand up and prioritise this with urgency - we are deeply disturbed by the Department of Education's @Education_Ire plan to remove the criteria enabling access to the support of special education teachers for children with ‘complex needs'. “We cannot do more with less” say the National Principal's Forum @ForumTeaching. Inclusion Ireland has written to the Department seeking an immediate meeting and clarification about these changes which have such potential serious consequences. inclusionireland.ie/news-events/de… @Independent_ie @irishexaminer @IrishTimes @rtenews @VirginMediaNews @thejournal_ie @TodayFMNews @NewstalkFM @98FM @FM104 @IPPN_Education @CatrionaGolden @simonlewis @IrishPrimaryPE @INTOnews @EducateTogether
