341. Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Minister for Education and Science when a second teacher will be appointed to a school (details supplied) in County Leitrim. [14140/98]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin) Micheál Martin

992

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin): An Action Programme for the Millennium [992] contains a commitment to give primary education a clear priority in allocating resources. In this context, the programme specifically states that one teacher schools with ten or more pupils will receive a second teacher.

In the context of finalising staffing arrangements for primary schools for the 1998-99 school year, I am examining a range of options, with a view to identifying the most appropriate way to fulfil the Government's commitments to one teacher schools as outlined in An Action Programme for the Millennium.
