‘Back To School’ Doesn’t Apply To Children With Additional Needs, Clarifies Minister For Education

APPEALS have been made to children with additional educational needs to take absolutely no heed of back to school adverts, morning radio show hosts chatter about ‘first day of school memories’ or gripes about ‘back to school traffic’ as for these particular students, none of this applies.

“Since a lot of you don’t have a school place because we’ve made sure there not enough places or had one but construction on building the new class room has been delayed, we’d just ask you to ignore the whole back to school buzz,” confirmed Minister for Limited Education, Helen McEntee.

Some children will find it especially hard to ignore this back to school talk since their parents have spent several years engaging non-stop with local schools, appealing decisions through the NCSE, and talking to councillors, TDs and ministers about how their child has a right to an education like any other child.

“This shortage of places has only been flagged for years and years, consistently brought to our attention, so you can’t exactly have expected us to be prepared or act in any way,” explained a Department of Education spokesperson.

Asked what they’re doing to help parents of children with additional needs, the government confirmed they’ve cut the application deadline by 4 months to give parents less time to apply.
