I am aware of the case made by the schools in question for a remedial teacher service.
Remedial teacher posts are allocated to schools on the basis of priority of need as determined by my Department following the collection and analysis of data from schools by my Department's inspectorate. The allocation of such posts is also subject to resource availability in any given year.
I am not in a position at present to allocate additional remedial teachers to primary schools.
