Group seeks better education facilities for special needs children

AN action group has been set up to seek improved education facilities for children with special needs.

The parents-led group is concerned that some national schools, with small enrolments, could be deprived of special needs assistants (SNAs) and resource teachers who offer support to children with learning difficulties.

The newly-formed West Cork Parents Action Group (WCPAG) will hold its first public meeting on April 21 in the Parkway Hotel, Dunmanway.
