"I very much welcome the agreement at Cabinet today that allows for the immediate provision and allocation of 500 additional resource teaching posts, which will go some way in addressing the concerns that parents and teachers have."

"It is essential that we maintain the supports that are given to children with a need for special educational resources and I am looking forward to what the review group has to say when it reports in September."

"It is clear from recent developments that a new model for the allocation of resource teachers is required so that children who are in need of help can get that help."
