Question:
To ask the Minister of Education, pursuant to AQW 12387/17-22, why special units within mainstream schools are not allowed to open under current restrictions.

Answer:

The opening of special units attached to mainstream schools is an operational matter for the school.

The Education Authority has advised schools (guidance issued on 8 January) that where a number of children from a Learning Support Class are attending school, the school should work to maintain their routine environment.
