98 Deputy Stephen S. Donnelly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will set out the changes being implemented to the general allocation model for learning support and resources teachers; if it is the case that, under these changes, a three teacher school which has an allocation of 11 resource hours will no longer be able to combine its learning support and resource allocation to create one full-time post, but instead will have those services provided by separate part time staff who will be travelling between schools; his views on a statement made to this Deputy by a local learning support resource teacher that the current system, which allows such teachers to divide their time between learning support and resource, while based full time in the one school, gives the school greater flexibility to support pupils on the ASD spectrum, as there are staff on hand if spontaneous problems arise; and if he will explain whether the changes will result in increased expenditure and time lost due to increased travel between schools for learning support teachers.
