The Department of Education is conducting a review of the school transport scheme. The review encompasses the school transport scheme for children with special educational needs and the primary and post-primary school transport schemes.
As part of the review the Department will be listening to the views of parents and guardians, students, the education partners and other relevant stakeholders. It will use surveys, focus groups and meetings, as well as inviting written submissions.
As a first step the Department wants to hear the views of parents, guardians and post-primary students.
#HaveYourSay: the Department wants to hear your views and opinions so that they may be considered in informing policy on the future operation of the school transport scheme.
As a next step, over the coming weeks the Department will invite written submissions from other relevant stakeholders and will arrange for a series of focus groups with primary students and students with additional needs to ask them to share their views and opinions also.
