"Education minister Hildegarde Naughton has paused a review of Special Needs Assistant allocations after schools had raised concerns that the number of SNAs in their classrooms could be cut from next September."
"Around 200 schools across the country had been told their SNA allocation could be reduced following reviews by the National Council for Special Education (NSCE)."
The minister paused a planned review of Special Needs Assistant (SNA) allocations in response to school concerns about potential reductions. Approximately 200 schools were informed that their SNA allocations could be reduced following reviews carried out by the National Council for Special Education (NCSE). The potential cuts were scheduled to take effect from next September, prompting schools to raise immediate concerns about classroom support levels for students with additional needs. The pause indicates that allocation decisions will be reconsidered or delayed while those concerns are addressed and stakeholders are consulted.
