OECD to examine allocation of resources to Deis schools

Minister for Education Norma Foley: 'It is imperative that children at risk of educational disadvantage have an equal opportunity to succeed at school.' 

How Ireland allocates resources to students in disadvantaged schools is to be independently reviewed by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). 

Minister for Education Norma Foley has formally invited the OECD to review the current Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools (Deis) policy.
